Guitar & backing vocals

A founding member of The Badloves and currently a key member of The Whitlams, Jak has built a reputation as one of Australia’s premier guitarists over the past decade. His distinctive guitar playing has always taken a pivotal role in shaping the overall sound of a song. Jak’s journey has also taken him from guitarist to frontman, a lengthy but successful endeavor, which is revealed on his solo album, "Mad About Disco" and first single "To Die For".

Aside from guitars, Jak took on the role of producer, recording the majority of the album in his own studio, Honey Baby Sound. The result is an eclectic collection of songs, some of them co-written with musicians such as Mark Goldenberg (guitarist for Jackson Browne), Kevin Savigar (keyboardist for Rod Stewart) and producer Ian Faith (no relation to the Spinal Tap manager of the same name). Jak’s most recent production credit was for local band Open whose EP is to be released later in the year.

Catch Jak, his handsome band and soon to be legendary (some would say ridiculous) dancers at a venue near you!

Jaks' Equipment
Jak plays a Japanese Fender Telecaster 50's re-issue with a mini humbucker in the neck position and a Fender Thinline '69 re-issue. His pedal board has a Colin Bloxsom Deluxe Double Switch twin Fx Loop. Loop 1 feeds a Roger Mayer Octavia, and a Fuzz Face. Loop 2 feeds an Ibanez TS9, MXR Phase 90, Tech21 Comptorsion, and a Blue Tube tube driver. The signal then goes to a Colin Bloxsom Booster switch, and finally a Line 6 delay pedal. Amplification is a Fender Twin '65 re-issue. Fender strings 10-52.

Bass & backing vocals

Warwick moved to Sydney from Adelaide in 1984 with a band called These Cars Collide, a punk/swing 4-piece with a maniac on vox. Sadly, they never recorded. Since then, Warwick has gone on to record and tour with Jan Hellriegel (NZ), Peggy Van Zalm, The Lab (with Paul Mac) and Paul Mac, and also recorded with Max Sharam and Diana Anaid. Warwick also produced a couple of re-mixes that were released for The Lab and The Infidels. When not on the road with the Whitlams, he can usually be found either writing and recording in his home studio or hitting a few balls out on the golf course.

Warwick's Equipment
Warwick plays a G&L L.2500 5 string and a Peavey Midi Bass. Peavey amplification.
