A Sydney, Australia-born (2004) band,
Sparkadia were originally the brainchild of vocalist
Alex Burnett and drummer David Hall. The group eventually expanded its roster, adding Tiffany Preece on guitars and vocals and Nick Rabone on bass. In its early days, the band caught the ear of Ark Records, which signed the band soon after. The group's demos worked their way through the channels, and soon
Sparkadia had lined up a collaboration with British producer
Ben Hiller. Their first release, the Things Behind the Sun EP, was enough of a success that
Sparkadia wound up opening for such groups as
Bravery,
Tegan and Sara, and
Ben Lee, as well as getting to tour the U.K. with
Jimmy Eat World and
the Thrills. Their Top 25 debut album,
Postcards, was released in 2008. It spawned a hit single in "Too Much to Do." ~ Chris True
