Baseball

From Melbourne, Australia, Baseball were an indie-punk band whose influences ranged from Eastern European and Middle-Eastern Gypsy music, Sufi poetry, to bands like The Ex (Netherlands) the Pixies and Led Zeppelin. Originally a solo project for frontman/violinist Cameron Potts (Ninetynine, Sandro) in 2004, Baseball evolved to the current line-up in 2005, consisting of bass player Monika Fikerle (Love of Diagrams, Sea Scouts, etc) drummer/vocalist Evelyn Morris (Pikelet, True Radical Miracle) and guitarist Ben Butcher (The Assassination Collective).
