Scott & Charlene's Wedding

Scott & Charlene's Wedding

Scott & Charlene's Wedding is an Australian indie rock band from Melbourne, led by Craig Dermody. The group is active from 2006 and works in grunge, indie rock and rock. Dermody is the main member named in the available information.

Style and themes

The band’s songs focus on everyday life, dead-end work, social frustration and humour, often written with a direct, worn-in perspective. Their writing combines heart-on-sleeve lyrics with jangly guitar riffs and a sense of weariness that sits alongside a continuing refusal to settle into maturity.

Releases and related material

The band releases the EP Delivered, which is described as part of a run of material that follows the Back On The Tools EP from 2014. They also record a version of The Go-Betweens’ Karen, which appears as a show-closing cover in their live set. Their third album is Mid Thirties Single Scene.

Performance and background

Dermody returns to Melbourne after periods of touring and time spent in New York and London, as well as a trip around the world. The band continues to tour in Europe and is presented as a live act with a ragged, energetic sound.
