Dick Diver is an Australian four-piece indie pop band from Melbourne, Victoria (Australia). The band consists of Rupert Edwards (guitar) and Alistair McKay (guitar), Steph Hughes (drums) and Al Montfort (bass). ==Origins and development== Dick Diver was formed in 2008, with guitarists Rupert Edwards and Alistair McKay, drummer Steph Hughes (Boomgates) and bassist Al Montfort (Total Control, UV Race, Lower Plenty et al). The band have been one of the more successful products of the "New Melbourne Jangle" scene, gaining traction in Australia and overseas. They are also the unwilling pioneers of a joke genre called "Dolewave". Their combination of widescreen Australian warmth and irreverent punk edge appeared almost fully formed on 2009 debut EP Arks Up. Their debut album, New Start Again, was listed on a number of year’s end best-of polls, including from Mess and Noise. All their records to date have been recorded by Mikey Young (of Total Control and Eddy Current Suppression Ring) in out of the way locations, including a farmhouse in the Dandenongs and a Philip Island holiday house. Dick Diver shared a vinyl single with one of Montfort's other bands Lower Plenty, as part of the 2013 singles club series for iconic US label Matador. Their 2013 album, ''Calendar Days'', was named by ''The Guardian'' as the best Australian album of 2013, and the second best album by Mess and Noise. It was nominated for The Age's Music Victoria Awards in the category of Best Album and Best Band, as well as appearing on best-of 2013 lists from the ''Sydney Morning Herald'', ''The Music'', ''Buzzfeed'', ''Faster Louder'', ''Beat'', and ''The Finest Kiss''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dick Diver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
