Luca Brasi are an Australian rock band formed in St Helens, Tasmania in 2009. The current line-up of the band features Thomas Busby on lead guitar, Danny Flood on drums, and Tyler Richardson on lead vocals and bass guitar.[1] To date, the group have released six studio albums: Extended Family (2011), By a Thread (2014), If This Is All We're Going to Be (2016), Stay (2018), Everything Is Tenuous (2021) and The World Don't Owe You Anything (2023). Stay became their first ARIA top 10.[2]
The band are currently signed to Cooking Vinyl Australia, and have toured with bands such as Alexisonfire, Violent Soho, Pup, You Me at Six, Turnover and Pianos Become the Teeth.[3] They have also performed at St Jerome's Laneway Festival, Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival.[4]
Luca Brasi have been recognised as a lasting influence on music in Tasmania.[5] Various Tasmanian musicians, including Maddy Jane, Kat Edwards, the Sleepyheads and the Tinderboxers have cited the band as mentors, with the former stating that "[they've] support[ed] their local scene through and through." They have also been credited with leading the way for other Tasmanian musicians in the industry, several of whom feel that they would otherwise feel "isolated" due to being separated from the larger industry in the mainland of Australia.[5]
