Tonk formed in late 2005, with the sole purpose of delivering their own brand of hard gritty tunes and stage dynamics to anyone that would listen and observe. Launched in March 2007, at the ANU Bar to a sold out crowd, Tonk’s debut album Sister Switchblade defines the harder edges of life and the harder edges of rock. The first single Redback, gives a true indication
of the bands attitude - firmly putting forward their Classic Rock intentions.

Sister Switchblade was recorded in late 2006, at Megaphon and Standing Wave Recording Studios (Sydney) and mixed at The Vault (Sydney); all with renowned ARIA nominated Australian producer Phil McKellar (Grinspoon, Silverchair, Frenzal Rhomb, The Butterfly Effect and more). The CD was mastered at Studios 301 by the talented Steve Smart (28 Days, Grinspoon, Kasey Chambers, Muse, Regurgitator, Spiderbait, The Living End, Tim Rogers
and more). Tonk have secured distribution through Modern Music/SONY/BMG.

Tonk have shared the stage with: Airbourne, Helmet, The Butterfly Effect, Gyroscope, Shihad, Grinspoon, Mammal, Dead Letter Circus, Karnivool, MM9, Behind Crimson Eyes, Screaming Jets and Jimmy Barnes to name drop a few.

Tonk have appeared on FlyTV when performing at the Newton’s Playground festival (Bathurst). Tonk have a very strong MySpace following.

They have received over 55,500 plays of their songs listed, and over 80,900 visitors to the site. Through MySpace, Tonk are selling CDs on a weekly basis to overseas fans including Germany, Sweden and Norway. Tonk continue to build their fan base through dynamic live performances.

Their music crosses demographic categories with their audience ages ranging from the young to the young at heart. Tonk are currently negotiating international distribution of Sister Switchblade.
