Meet the Band
KYLE (Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals)
The driving force behind JULIUS is our lead guitarist Kyle. He wields his guitar like a storyteller, with the perfect balance of technicality and imagination. Every riff, solo and chord progression he crafts is a testament to his passion for rock and his dedication towards pushing his musical boundaries. Growing up in a musical environment, Kyle found inspiration from legendary guitarists such as Richie Blackmore, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Don Felder, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Steve Lukather, Richie Kotzen and many more. Over the years, he has developed his unique style and feel, giving JULIUS its edge in the modern rock scene. On stage, Kyle commands attention with his blistering solos and his undeniable presence. Off stage, he is the band's musical architect, writing songs and riffs that resonate deeply with the band's shared passion and vision. Being very academically inclined in his personal life, he is able to draw upon his intellectual skills to convert contentious topics into lyrics for songs. Kyle is the backbone of our sound and music, making every note count and every word meaningful.
KRIPA (Lead Vocalist)
Kripa is a powerhouse vocalist who has lit up stages across Melbourne. She is a trained Western and Carnatic vocalist & pianist whose experience includes everything from playback singing in the Indian film industry to fronting rock and pop bands overseas and in Australia.
Her unique talent is the perfect fit for our sound, and we’re so excited for you to hear what we create together.
KEVIN (Rhythm guitar)
Kevin brings rhythm and texture to the band with precision and style. The intricate chord progressions create the foundation for the band's melodies and solos. Kevin grew up listening to rock bands like Guns N Roses, Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Stone Temple Pilots and many more alike. Over the years, he found his passion for the instrument and developed his skills playing along to classic rock songs. On stage, Kevin provides a powerful rhythm section that delivers punchy riffs and harmony for the lead guitar. Kevin is also a contributor to the song-writing process, owing to his instinctive sense of musicality and arrangements of melodies.
SAL (Bass Guitar)
Sal is the bassist and the driver of the impactful grooves to Julius' songs. Sal is a born entertainer who takes pride in every performance. Growing up, Sal fell in love with Rock music and the bass guitar especially, by trying to emulate the sounds he heard from his favourite bands and their bass players. Particularly Duff McKagan from Guns N Roses, Clifford Williams from AC/DC, John Paul Jones from Led Zepplin, Paul Mcartney from The Beatles and Steve Harris from Iron Maiden to name a few. Sal is an integral member of Julius, who delivers on each occasion - be it a gig, recording session or a serious rehearsal.
GAVIN (Drummer)
The hard-hitting drummer behind Julius is the very talented and experienced Gav. He is arguably the driver of the band and all members count on him to keep the punches coming for every verse/chorus/bridge or harmony. Gav has a great understanding of band dynamics and lays low when we has to in the background, but demonstrates raw power when the spotlight is on him. Gav's influences are vast and range from rock, hard rock to even metal. Some of his notable heros and bands include Nicko Mcbrain from Iron Maiden, John Bonham from Led Zepplin, Ian Paice from Deep Purple, Danny Carey from Tool and Matt Sorum from Guns N Roses. Gav is always on the hunt to improve his feel, dynamics, power and is hungry to improve the overall sound of the band.
