Shane Kells - Lead Vocals/PercussionOur vocalist and always the wild man! Completely uninhibited, few words can accurately describe this unique frontman - loud, gregarious, spontaneous and a wicked sense of humour, Kellsy is definitely the good-time-guy of the band.

Combine an outrageously powerful vocal style with a "what you see is what you get" approach to his onstage personality, you get a basic idea of what this man is all about. When asked for his musical influences he simply replies "anything and everything!"

Stewart Paxton - Guitars/Mandolin/VocalsAs the band's versatile lead/rhythm guitarist, Stew has had a very interesting career, having played in a few reputable bands in and around Brisbane, as well as a couple of touring acts and festivals, and the occasional original project.


A dynamic and flamboyant player, Stew cites his main influences as early Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rolling Stones and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Strange Brew now have the capacity and repertoire to provide our venues with whichever style of act will suit the occasion - if an easy listening acoustic duo is what you are after then our new "Strange Brew Duo" can keep you cruising, or if a fuller sound is required then our new unplugged trio will keep you entertained for hours.

Finally if our notorious full blown 4 piece electric band is needed to rock the house down then we can still provide that with the addition of our new bass player and drummer. (We can even perform our 4 piece as an unplugged show if a quieter gig is needed).

Our unplugged shows (both 3 & 4 piece), have seen great success with repeat bookings in demand. So whatever the style or requirements of the venue, Strange Brew can adapt to suit.

Sat 7th ..... Bribie Island RSL

8PM - 12PM
Laurie Keating - Drums/PercussionLaurie can normally be found flat out drinking beer and generally being thankful that he had the good sense to take up drums and not guitar! He lays down a solid groove for the boys to go to town with. Laurie has played in many established acts in and around QLD over more years than he would like to admit. This experience is the basis for his no frills approach to providing a take-no-prisoners back beat, enabling the two guitarists to express themselves fully within the safety net of his ever reliable groove.
Gino Mellino - Bass/VocalsOver the last 12 years Gino has spent a large portion of his time administering the low end register to bands in Queensland’s south east. Being greatly influenced by bands such as Rage Against The Machine, Tool, Primus, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Faith No More, Gino has fallen in love with Funk, Funk Metal and slap bass. His style can be both busy and upbeat or smooth and groovy depending on what feel is needed. However, left to his own devices he loves to play bass fast, funky and well and truly in your face.
