Band information
Running the gamut of stoner rock, psychedelic metal and NWOBHM, The Neptune Power Federation was formed by three former members of the Sydney punk band Nancy Vandal - Mike Foxall, Dean Bakota and Jay Whalley (also of Frenzal Rhomb) - in 2009. Guitarist Troy Scerri has a wealth of experience in Sydney metal and hardcore bands going back to the late 1980s. Originally intended to be only a studio project as their vocalist Craig Billmeier was based in the US, Mano a Satano was released on vinyl only in 2012. In early 2014, Whalley's wife Lauren joined the band and The NPF began to develop a theatrical stage show based around her Imperial Princess character.
Funded by a Pozible campaign, the second album was a musical tie-in to Foxall's graphic novel Lucifer's Universe, and released simultaneously. Neath a Shin ei Sun was released in October 2017 and the band began to develop a European following. The Neptune Power Federation toured Europe in early 2019 and their fourth album came out in September. The band recorded an EP of Queen and Rainbow covers to promote another European tour in 2020 but that was cancelled due to COVID. They were added to the line-up of the 2021 Blacken Festival in the NT but that was also cancelled. In early 2022, the band's fifth album was released and they will appear at Blacken Open Air.
