The Audreys are an ARIA Award-winning Australian five-piece blues/roots band who formed in Adelaide, South Australia in 2004. The pre-cursor to The Audreys started in Melbourne as a duo consisting of lead singer Taasha Coates and guitarist Tristan Goodall. After dropping out of university in Adelaide, the two moved to Melbourne where they played original pop songs and slowed-down versions of 1980s songs. An impromptu jam session with a bluegrass band inspired them to change direction from pop music to the folk and blues music they preferred, and the two moved back to Adelaide, where they formed The Audreys along with Cameron Goodall and Michael Green. The band's debut album Between Last Night And Us was released in February 2006, and featured the singles "Oh Honey", "You & Steve McQueen", "Banjo & Violin" and "Don't Change". Between Last Night And Us won the 2006 ARIA award for best Blues & Roots Album, and its songs were used as the soundtrack for the 2007 ABC TV series, Rain Shadow. Their second album, When the Flood Comes, was released in April 2008, and won the ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album in 2008. The album featured the single "Paradise City". Tracks "Small Things" and "Lay Me Down" have been included on movie and television program soundtracks both in Australia and the USA.
