Bio
What do you get when you combine rock and roll with horns? Papaya Tree.
Sweeter than their namesake fruit, the six piece Sydney outfit are 80’s tinged, vibrant and laced with pop sensibilities, without sacrificing their hallmark quirkiness.
The band started with Lee and Jack working together at a butcher shop. After being fired for crashing the work van, they decided that music was their true calling. After realising two guitars and a trumpet wasn’t much of a vibe. Jordan and Jack enlisted Joe, Alistair and Zac whilst studying. 4 singles later (usually one every year) here we are!
