Band information

F L O A T I N G M E is a progressive hard rock/metal band from Sydney originally formed by Gillespie, Brown and Messiter who were all ex-members of the 90s alterna-metal band Scarymother. Borich was invited to write music with them and after Cog announced it would be ending as an active unit, he became further involved in this band. With much of the album completed, Karnivool's Stockman was asked to record bass parts, and as his band was currently on hiatus due to singer Ian Kenny's commitment to Birds of Tokyo, he joined F L O A T I N G M E full-time, allowing the band to begin playing live in early 2011. Their first live performance was opening for Shihad at the first show of a tour in Wollongong in February and they then toured with Dead Letter Circus. Their debut album appeared in April and the band headlined their own shows and toured with Thousand Needles in Red. The album was nominated for an 2011 ARIA Award in the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal category. Since then the group has been inactive live while new music is being completed; Borich has formed The Nerve with members of Mammal and pre-shrunk.
