CURRENT PROJECTS
The Kate Miller-Heidke Band
As drummer for the Sony BMG recording artist Kate Miller-Heidke, and along with along with fellow Transport band member guitarist Keir Nuttall, Steve has toured extensively, nationally and overseas, with the KMH Band. His drumming features on Kate's debut album "Little Eve" and on the "Circular Breathing" EP.
"Idiosyncratic pianist, compelling vocalist and enchanting songwriter, Kate has made some of the most captivating musical entertainment we've seen from a solo artist this decade - both in the studio and on stage...
...Little Eve is like a set of Russian dolls. Twist open the song to find her special insight. Twist open the insight to find her heartfelt story. The album is a dozen of these dolls; introspective memoirs sparkling with a child's playfulness and imagination. They exceed the beauty of her sweet first EPs by a long way. The result of an intensive summer of writing and recording in Brisbane with Kate's collaborator and guitarist Keir Nuttall, the record also features tasteful production by producer Magoo.
Also featured are Kate's band who have been playing together for over 3 years, and the chemistry they share is unmistakable. All these elements have culminated in an inspiring work of art." [www.katemillerheidke.com]
Transport
World famous in BrisVegas, Transport is Keir Nuttall (vocals/guitar), Scott Saunders (bass/vocals) and Steve Pope (drums/vocals). The band formed in 2002 starting as a rock/funk improvisation project, has since released 2 EPs and debut LP The Inner Chimp.
"Imagine melodic British New Wave colliding head-on with the powerful, riffy guitars of American Classic Rock. Throw in occasional Hip-Hop vocal stylings and you’re describing Australian band TRANSPORT. One of the most innovative and high-energy rock bands to emerge from Brisbane Australia, a city Billboard magazine (USA) recently cited as one of the top 5 most exciting musical centres in the world.
The three-piece release their debut album 'The Inner Chimp' in 2007 building upon two successful independent EPs. “The Inner Chimp” is a fun album, a high-energy romp with a unique sound and satirical lyrics. The album fills all the musical gaps between Talking Heads - XTC - Black Sabbath – Eminem. Whilst always firmly retaining the TRANSPORT sound.
'The Inner Chimp' produced by Caleb James www.calebjames.com is available for worldwide licensing deals NOW! The first single off the album is '(The People) Have Spoken' an infectious, high-energy rock dance-floor anthem and is scheduled for a UK and worldwide online release May 14th 2007."
