THE IMMACULATE CROWS

About

The Immaculate Crows were originally an Australian Brisbane-based Alternative band formed by Bruce Neilsen in late 1981. The first line-up consisted of Hamish McKie (singer), Mark Kasulke (rhythm guitar), Chris Allen (drums), Bruce Neilsen (lead guitar & principal songwriter) and Brad Leaf-Milham (bass guitar). Hamish left briefly and was replaced by David Page who would have been one of the first (if not the first) indigenous gay frontman/vocalists in an Australian Alternative band. Since 2020 The Immaculate Crows became a loose collective based around songs written and arranged by Bruce and eventually fully produced by Carolyn Neilsen. Some singers have left and others joined with the current core singers being K M Steele, Nicky Steel, Daphne Mae, Jessica Shipley and Brandon Webb. Other recent contributors have been Wayne Harvey(guitar) and Colleen South (piano accordion)and Sam Ryan(trumpet). The music has Retro elements but overall remains authentic and hard to categorize.
