Tin Can Radio is a truly exciting up-and-coming Brisbane based band. Their infectious flavour of synth-driven indie dance music infuses the heavy rhythms of drum ‘n bass, discopunk and breakbeats to their unique soulful melodic stylings. Moving through genres like sands through the hourglass: Electro, Dubstep, Soul-Reggae Grooves… These are the days of our Tin Can Radio. Combining this with their high energy stage show, a Tin Can Radio live performance is a MUST SEE for anyone on a night out, from the most overzealous groovers to the chilled, head-nodding wall-flowers.

Born in Guyana, Fraser earned the Mad Professor tag from his childhood fascination with electronics. At the age of nine or ten he built a radio from scratch.
