Back on stage where it began
MUSIC is like a tonic for Warwick mates Zach Eather and Nick Keogh-Peel, and returning to the stage that launched their musical careers will be a welcome chance to put old anxieties to bed.
The thought “jeez, we need to get better” may have haunted Mr Keogh-Peel when he and Mr Eather finished their first gig at the Warwick Town Hall four years ago, but it also sparked a drive to take his musical career to new heights.
“Not pursuing it was never an option, drumming has been the dream for as long as I can remember,” Mr Keogh-Peel said.
The only person who could rival his passion for music was Mr Eather, a singer and guitarist.
Four years later, the two reflected on how far they had come as they prepare to bring their talent back to town on Saturday with four-piece rock band, Therapist.
Keogh-Peel and Eather have both studied music in Brisbane and are preparing to launch an independently-recorded single after the success of Therapist’s self-titled EP, which they launched at a leading Brisbane nightclub in 2017.
Keogh-Peel said he was pumped to play an opening set when the nationally acclaimed Pub Choir took over the Warwick Town Hall.
“We love Warwick and it sounds like the turnout is going to be good. It is getting really close to selling out,” he said.
Tickets are available through the Warwick Chamber of Commerce.
