silesian school of shanties

Poles Apart were a alternative rock outfit from Cairns, Australia.The band formed in May 2005 from a result of boredom musical fustration and the need of a creative outlet.There was however, a problem.None of the 3 had much experience in playing instrments. So, with some help, they started experimenting. Michiel was in a previous band in Sydney which only lasted a couple of months. He placed himself firmly on the guitar. Tom always has a thing for the bass, he had a bass guitar given to him for a birthday, and since then has always been enchanted by how it fits into the musical landscape.
