A brief history of Imaginary Band

In 1997 the haunting debut EP The Fable was played on Australian national youth radio network Triple J, and lauded as "classy and promising" by Rolling Stone magazine. The EP Space Invaders is “...somewhat part Radiohead, part Alex Lloyd and part Queen...A very bold sojourn for a totally independent artist, it'll be interesting what he'll bring out next” - OzMusic Project. Next was the debut album called Beyond the Gift, praised as "...one of the most impressive releases perhaps made in 2000 thus far...This is one very good album that should get a lot more exposure than it probably will" -hEARd Online Magazine October 2000. "Tasmanian act Imaginary Band is the brainchild of Duncan Wheeler, who has developed his talent through three EPs before his debut album Beyond the Gift. A mix of guitar-driven band performances and moody programmed solo tracks, the album is melodic, personal and diverse. Beyond the Gift is a work of a burgeoning talent." - The Mercury, Hobart, Oct. 2000.

The acclaimed debut album went on to receive distinguishing airplay on Triple J. In 2001, Wheeler concentrated on writing and recording material that would take Imaginary Band to the next level, meanwhile releasing singles from the album to community radio stations in Melbourne and Sydney, RRR and 2MCE. DJs loved the tracks A.I. and You Crossed the Line. With these singles Duncan included an additional track, a remix of Faerytale Lessons (you can listen to it here).

In 2002 Imaginary Band provided some of the music, including the title tune and incidentals, for an independent Tasmanian production, Scott Lawson’s film debut Life Goes On. In mid-2002 Wheeler moved to the UK and after a hiatus of recording began again on the cusp of 2003, also working on incidental material for the new Scott Lawson film with the working title A Night to Forget.
