Origins

edit

The four band members—Jacko, Lewy, Brad, and Benny—met in 2002 as young children at primary school.[3][4] Their band name is derived from a spoonerism of "Reddy Bay", which is a common abbreviation for Redland Bay.

In primary school the entire band's favourite band was Green Day.[5] In high school they went through a phase of loving hardcore music and would attend shows at the youth centre shows.[5]

The band was started after the members left high school.[6]

Their first show they played was at a party at vocalist-guitarist Jackson's house while his parents were away.[6]

All four band members are from Redland Bay, including Jacko who is a Woppaburra man,[7] and work as tradesmen.[2] Beddy Rays came to play some of their first shows by networking at various Brisbane venues for which they worked as tradies.[1]

Career

edit

Beddy Rays released their first EP Lost Found Beat Around in 2017.[2] Their 2020 single "Sobercoaster" led the band to be featured as a Triple J Unearthed Feature Artist in mid-2020.[1]

In 2021, Beddy Rays covered Thelma Plum's "Better In Blak" for Triple J's Like A Version segment.[8][9]

On 19 November 2021, the band released "On My Own".[10]

Their self-titled, debut studio album was announced on 2 June 2022 and was released on 29 July 2022.[11] It peaked at number 8 on the ARIA Charts. The Beddy Rays album cover art was inspired by Green Day’s Dookie cover.[5]

In September 2022, it was reported that there was a sexual assault in the mosh pit at a Beddy Ray's concert. The band drove the woman that had been assaulted home and had the perpetrator kicked out of the Hobart venue and banned for life.[12]
