Formed in the autumn of 23, Alphabet City mesh epic guitar sounds of ‘70’s rock with the complex yet memorably hummable melodies of the early ‘80’s.
If Led Zepplin met the Hoodoo Gurus at a Howard Jones party where Stevie Wonder was playing, Alphabet City would be the result. Fronted by singer songwriter Nick Stratford (Drunkle) and master guitar riffsman and shredder Justin Bernhaut, Alphabet City combine 200 years of experience with the Bluesy keys of The Doc (Simon Chatfield) and the powerful beats of master skinsman Julian Wiseman. Both Justin and Nick spent different decades living in NYC, hence the moniker. Their paths didn’t cross until both met at the inaugural Melbourne southside charity event PBOTB, (raising money for their kids schools music departments). Destiny set the two on a path to reimagine the killer rock, blues and surf sounds of their youth.
Lyrically Alphabet City evokes shades of The Clash and Midnight Oil’s social commentary along with a nod and a wink to the silliness of rock posturing.
Together Alphabet City represent a new generation of musicians who have had careers, raised children and returned to their original passion coz they love it🤟
Support from the ever funky, Soul stylings of Mamas Brew.
