Beanbag is Phil, 28, who plays drums; Hunz, 22, who is the voice of Beanbag; Hirvy, 22, who plays bass; and Michael, 23, who plays guitar.

Before the release of their debut CD in 1998, Beanbag had already risen to immense popularity in Australia on the strength of two demo tapes and a volatile stage performance.

Now with the upcoming release of Beanbag's debut LP "Free Signal," the band aptly titled 'Australia's Masters of the Bizarre," are making their mark in the U.S. Beanbag's first introduction to the U.S. began at this year's Cornerstone Festival where the band made its presence felt in an intensely captivating performance.

This marked the beginning of a three week tour of festivals including Cincinnati's "Spirit Song," and New Hampshire's "Inside-Out" festival. The tour, though brief, has added more fuel to the great anticipation surrounding the October release of "Free Signal," which will debut on the new inpop label. Part of the Sparrow label group, inpop was started by Newsboys' Peter Furler, their manager Wes Campbell, and Dale Bray.
