SKY NEEDLE are a band of humans living in Brisbane, Melbourne and Kyogle, Australia. They were founded in 2009 at the foot of the Brisbane ‘sky needle’, a strange architectural extravagance left inexplicably derelict since its construction for world expo 88. In honour of this giant phallic absurdity, Sky Needle vowed to only perform using their own home-made instruments.

In 2012, Sky Needle extended into a collective with new family members Michael Donnelly, Glen Schenau and Daniel Jenatsch on various invented and found instruments.
