[edit] Biography
Calerway were formed in 2005 by Jaun-Paul Rebola, Phillip O'Reilly and Daniel Ramsdale after the ending of their previous band Saving Rushmore. In need of a drummer James 'Cheda' Watroba, already in Whitechapel & Kerb, accepted the role as a side project.
Shortly after came the departure of Daniel Ramsdale and the addition of Cameron Edwards, also acting in a side project capacity due to his role in Last Year's Hero.
After doing a few competitions and low profile shows, including the 2005 Ampfest,[1] the band turned some industry heads in their home town and following the release of their debut EP A Letter of Credence, (tracked before the band ever hit a stage) went on to support Anberlin, Kisschasy, Behind Crimson Eyes, Something With Numbers and Less than Jake within a three month period. Late 2005 also saw them securing a signing with indie label Valet Records.[2]
In 2006 Calerway toured south-east Asia,[3] including a main stage spot at Singapore’s annual Baybeats festival.[4] The band also played support for Gyroscope, Alkaline Trio, The Hot Lies; Bodyjar, Evergreen Terrace, Birds of Tokyo and Silverstein[5] and also toured Victoria playing a number of gigs.[6] 2006 also saw the national release of their EP (Modern Music/Sony BMG), with airplay on national youth broadcaster Triple J and their video clip played on ABCTV's rage. The band also performed at the Gravity Games H2O in December, the Perth leg of the Big Day Out, Monsterfest '07 in January and WAMi festival[7] in February 2007.
During 2007, the band released the single "Just Drive/Believe It" in July that featured the songs "Just Drive", "Believe It" and "All We Are". During the release, they toured with Angela's Dish [NSW] for the debut. Their next album was scheduled to be released before the fall of 2007, but was pushed back till the early part of 2008. During the time of the delay, the band welcomed Ryan De Rozario, as Calerway added Keys and Synth into their music and were set to introduce a complete album with new tracks. Before the fall of 2007, Calerway were the featured band on The Veronicas The Hook Me Up Tour in Perth on the dates November 30 and December 1st at the Burswood Thearte.
On February 27 2008, Calerway posted three new songs on their MySpace as a preview to their upcoming debut album which will be released in May. The songs that were added to the site were "A Drink with the Devil", "Jacknife" and "Northern Lights". There debut album shows will start at Perth's Foundry on the May 7 and will conclude on May 11 at Fremantle's Mojo's. An All Ages show at HQ has also been added for the 9th of May along with a show at the Amplifier Bar on May 10.
