Hunter Kaine - Sounds Funny CD - Theme from 'The Wedge'

Heres the thing about Hunter Kaine. She dares to dream and dream big. Shes a true believer in the redemptive, uplifting and healing power of rock nroll. And shes equally charmed by the persuasions of fate and hard work. All of which goes a long way to explaining how she comes to be releasing her debut single Sounds Funny.

See, it happened like this..

Hunter Kaine grew up in a musical household. Her father was a gifted guitarist who played with some of the legends of Australian rock and pop music and her home was alive with the sounds of blues, jazz, early rock and pop. For as long as she can remember she performed as a singer, a dancer and even a 12 year old drummer.

Over time the family unit fractured in that very 90s kinda way and Hunter became somewhat rootless, her most constant and compelling companion being music.

The music that made the biggest impacts on her sensibilities is revealing she tended towards artists who were stylistically diverse but had in common a willingness to think big bands like U2, Metallica, Pink Floyd and Def Leppard and solo artists like Jeff Buckley, Seal and Alanis Morrisette. Others such as David Bowie and T Rex touched a nerve that told her that rock music was supposed to have an element of escapism and its stars were supposed to be larger than life. More recently shes found a similar aesthetic in bands like Evanescence and Blink 182. For Hunter it isnt about indie cool or alternative cred it was more about artists who put themselves out there without shame or thinly disguised ulterior motives.
