Hey!! This blog is a diary of short posts by Mick, Wes, Rich and Ads, updated with new posts all the time so check back regularly or subscribe to the RSS Feed!! We also have a QIK Video Blog which is streamed live to keep you up to date on whats happening with the band and gives you a snippets of these diary entries as they happened.

Formed in 2004 in the beautiful Byron Bay, Very Unique Existence started their journey as Rich Latimer (Guitar/VOX) Chris Boniface (Drums) and Mick Harris (Bass/vox) making a raw-rock ep "Open" at www.topcatstudios.com as the result of winning Jim Beam band competition. This helped them establish gigs up and down the eastcoast and develop the band.

Moving forward to 2007 Wes Seewald (Keys/vox) was added to the line-up, post the recording of their EP/DVD "Everyone". This EP/DVD helped establish the band some, regional radio airplay, Video Hits Top 20, and supports with, Wolfmother, Rouge Traders, Kate Miller-Heideke amongst others.

Now in 2009 a lineup change has occurred seeing Ads Gardiner (Drums) take up the sticks from sorely missed Chris, and a new fresh direction with interesting and eclectic pop/rock tracks, more musically aligned with the bands message and image of “Positive Consciousness Rock” has been established.

April 2009 will see the band record their debut LP consisting of 12 to 14 tracks, an album that demos from which have created such a buzz that Rolling Stone Magazine will be previewing the album even before it is recorded! “A Consciousness Journey Record, a real album like they use to make them, something special.”

But that’s all fact and figures, achievements and highlights, the real deal with Very Unique Existence is their unique eclectic music, and live vibe. Self defined as “Positive Consciousness Rock” the band donate part proceeds from each gig to a charity within the town they play, and focuses their music and lyrics along with their show on delivering “positive energy” to help “elevate consciousness”.

What would you expect from a ....Byron.. ..Bay.... band you might say! But there is something going on here that can’t be pinned down to hippy ideals wrapped in beautifully crafted eclectic Pop/Rock.

Very Unique Existence are connecting with people, in a simplistic, single message, single song way that doesn’t cliché the age old concept of “music for change”. Each song is a little pill of positivity that gets inside you with a humble and almost naive concept and bubbles out through sound and melody to make you “feel positive” and the fans base of loyal believers in the revolution of positivity are a testament to it’s credibility.

God knows we could all use some positive energy right now!
