Bio:
MYSTERY was first formed in 2010 by a group of twelve and thirteen year old boys in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. The home of the legendary AC/DC.The band originally formed in 2010 and did not know what to call the band for their very first show, so Rocky suggested Mystery. He suggested it simply because they were heading into the show with their name being a complete mystery even to themselves only a few weeks prior to show day.After performing their first show as ‘Mystery’ and being that it was also a song by DIO, the band chose to keep the name MYSTERY as a tribute to the memory of the late Ronnie James Dio.Coincidently, the band’s first original song ‘Rock n’ Roll Forever Be’ was written and composed as a tribute to Dio.Playing and performing like true professionals at such an early age, MYSTERY surprised their unsuspecting audiences who sang along to their set of originals and a number of classic Hard Rock / Heavy Metal anthems.There was no looking back and everything from that point would have to be nothing short of huge!MYSTERY intend on making HISTORY! As it's been said 'the future of ROCK and HEAVY METAL is in good hands'!The band since released their debut album titled ‘2013’ which was supported with World tours in 2012 and 2013. The band performed on main stages all over the World including Japan, The USA, Australia and Europe with bands such as MOTLEY CRUE, IRON MAIDEN, SWEET, EUROPE, MANOWAR, MOTORHEAD, MEGADETH and many more.MYSTERY has also played at many of the World’s greatest festivals like Ost Fest and they played twice at Topfest and Rocklahoma with GUNS N’ ROSES, KID ROCK, CHEAP TRICK, TWISTED SISTER, ALICE IN CHAINS, KORN and many more.The band would eventually become to be known as the youngest Rock band to ever tour the world.A follow up album was recorded in 2013 titled ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ and scheduled for a 2014 release, which is also supported by their very own motion picture movie that features all of the songs from the album.The movie ‘MYSTERY: BORN TO ROCK’ premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014 as part of the official line-up for Screen Australia and the Australian Government.2014 also marked the third consecutive year of International tour dates and the beginning of the recording of a third album which will be supported with major touring in 2015.There is no stopping MYSTERY as the band continues to dominate the world stage!¨
Album:
I love it when bands love the very same music that I’ve loved for the past 30-odd years. Especially when its done by basically what is a bunch of kids not long out of nappies! If you love bands like Dio, Twisted Sister, WASP etc etc, then really look not further than Mystery. It’s classic 80’s hard rock from the youngest international touring band from Australia. Produced by Stu Marshall (Death Dealer, Dungeon, and the marvellous Empires of Eden), the album combines the sounds of those above aforementioned bands, and they will not be a Mystery for long! The band formed officially at the very beginning of 2010 after thirteen (!!) year old Rocky Ravic met twelve (!!!!!) year old Tony Mlikota. Rocky was then introduced to twelve year old Kris Laccino who was a school friend of Tony. Kris and Tony would jam together and formed their very own band MYSTERY. In the latter part of 2010, twelve year old Josh Scarpaci completed the line-up. Only several weeks later the band performed their debut show at CroktoberFest in Melbourne. In late 2010, MYSTERY recorded their first demo single ‘Rock’n’Roll Forever Be’ which was mixed by internationally renowned Stu Marshall of DEATH DEALER. He was so impressed that he offered to produce a debut album for the teenage band.The band started the recordings in late 2011, after filming a professional music video for their first single which was Co-Directed by the prominant Filmmakers Steve Ravic of Majestic Film and Hollywood based motion picture maker Neil Johnson. The professional approach was justified with their extremely successful back to back live shows in November 2011 on the main stage at Federation Square in the centre of the city of Melbourne.In 2012 th band played some big festivals in Europe with bands like MANOWAR and NIGHTWISH as well as a few club shows in Germany and the US!In spring 2013 Mystery toured Japan with bands like AT VANCE, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE and JADED HEART followed by a tour in the US in May, where they played the famous Rocklahoma Festival (GUNS N’ ROSES, ALICE IN CHAINS and more) besides several club shows.They have the image, the right mentor in Marshall, but do they have the music to go with it? Well, for a bunch of (hardly) teenagers, they are pretty damned good. Whilst the music is nowhere near perfect, they have the swagger and attitude than many an established band wished they had, and then some! Its more ‘sleaze-rock than outright metal, and Mystery come across more Faster Pussycat and Hanoi Rocks than Quiet Riot. In saying that, on the very first listen they piss all over Faster Pussycat were in their alleged heyday With songs like the riff-tastic ‘Raise Your Fist’ which is as anthemic as Twisted Sister ever got, to the Motley Crue musings of ‘Freedom’ Ravic and the lads have gotten themselves off to a great start. Where Metal is more about the attitude, Mystery have this in spades, whilst not the greatest singer out there, I’m certain Rocky Ravic will progress to do some decent things in the years to come. I’m certainly impressed with the playing from all concerned as all play like pro’s, with the guitar work particularly of note Mystery throw in a couple of homage’s/covers at the end, with Dio’s ‘Stand Up And Shout’ an impressive version of one of my all time fave song’s (well done lads!), and a metalled up version of the Aussie fave, Men At Work’s ‘Land Down Under’ given the works.Mystery have a very bright future in front of them. Once they knuckle down and get a bit more wisdom and experience under their belt, they will be a force to be reckoned with. I’ve seen the future, and its no Mystery as to who will fronting Aussie rock for years to come If I was any of these kids dad, I would be very fucking proud indeed, and I can’t give them a better reference than that
