Cheeky Geezers are Teddy Friend (lead vox, guitar), Nick Costa (drums) and Rex Everett (bass). In their short but illustrious career so far the fiery trio of fifteen-year-olds has played stages that most adult bands don’t even have the chance to cough on, performing alongside Melbourne indi-rock legends EVEN and gracing the stage at Tallarook's coveted Boogie Festival.
Their first digital release ‘Coming To Me’ on Cheersquad Records and Tapes, was penned by Teddy Friend during a creative block and has turned into being one of Cheeky Geezers’ favourite songs and one of their most energetic, getting the band fully pumped from the get go!
The basis for Teddy’s lyrics is the trials and tribulations of everyday life and range from heartbreak to teenage boredom and ‘chucking a sickie’ from school!
Cheeky Geezers call their sound ‘punk pop’ and are inspired by the likes of Green Day, The Living End, Pennywise and Fu Manchu.

Beautiful new Nick Batterham video
|
|
Rich, evocative, haunting, beautifully harsh, ‘Thirty Four‘ is a bruising affair, a tender, raw, at times simmering indie rock journey drenched in wonderfully emotive piano. It’s a song that evokes the comparisons Nick Batterham has had to Elliott Smith and Nick Drake; you can add Ken Stringfellow to the list as well.
“The video is an extension of a long fascination with photographing my friends,” Nick adds. “I like that a photograph captures one perspective of a moment in time, yet in Polaroid form, remains ephemeral. They take time to appear then can fade over time. A romantic relationship is a collection of shared moments and experiences, which can be well communicated by photographs. They also capture the fractures within a relationship before either person can see it for themselves.”
