The adventures of Sherlock's Daughter produce a sound where noise meets calm, mystery challenges imagination, and nothing is as it seems.

Born from a late-night revelation on a stormy eastern Sydney shore, front woman Tanya Horo weaved the fatasy worlds of the sepia-tinged memories of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, fleeting new-world colonial adventure & ornate pagan ceremonial impressions. Bridging the gap between insanity & parable, the 5 piece - comprised of Tim Maybury (guitar), William Russell (drums), Liam Flanagan (bass) and Jonti Danilewitz (live electronics & samplers) - knit together a heaving experience of heavy dream pop through shifting frames of multi-instrumentation... The music is replete with diverse elements such as live videogame tweaking, percussive sandpaper, echoing handclaps, marimba, sampled rhythmic scenes and sweet, uneasy harmonies.

As a band without a release in early 2009, the strength of their live show saw Sherlock s Daughter be selected for international support tours in Australia for School of Seven Bells (US), Metric (Canada) and local favourites Temper Trap. Being selected to play both alternative indie festival (St Jeromes Laneway Festival) and the dance music festival (Parklife Festival) before the release of their debut EP has cemented them as a diverse & raptuous live force.

The debut self-titled 5 track EP has made blissful fractures with Australian radio, with tracks "Kids" and "Sons and Daughters" being added to A-List rotation on Sydney's FBi94.5fm and Triple J selecting the band as it's Unearthed Feature Artist in June, followed up with rotation for "Song For Old People" and "Kids".

Within 2 months of the release of the debut self-titled EP, Sherlock's Daughter were nominated in the final shortlist nominees (one of only three) for the prestigious Qantas Spirit Of Youth Australia Awards in the music catagory. The SOYA awards attracts over 10,000 entries over 1600 young artists and is a leading music initiative in Australia. Shortly after, the band were nominated & won the 2009 Sydney Music Arts & Culture award for Next Big Thing, which is hosted by Time Out Sydney & FBi Radio.
