Brendan Neville is the primary songwriter for the band Dribs - who have been playing in sheds, odds and ends since 2017. We've been in love with being silly our whole lives and see the band as an expression of what we felt was a huge amount of overly seriousness particularly in music. We aspire to ensure our live performances are real and an opportunity to feel as if you were just watching us play in our loungeroom - you can say what you feel and we're happy to just hang out rather than being behind some mystical curtain. We make music for people to have fun to in whatever way they seem fit my personal favourite is loud in a car but we've been told it's great to mow the lawn to, my dad said our song 'something' should have gotten on the radio and my mum says we're a good band; trust her!She comes to as many shows as she can.
