The Temper Trap

Listen to this band, The Temper Trap. An Australian band who consists of Dougy Mandagi (Vocals), Lorenzo (Guitars), Jonathon (Bass), and Toby (Drums). The Band starts when Dougy and Toby worked on the same Store. And in 2008, their song "Sweet Disposition" has been a great hit in Australian radios.

Their song "Sweet Disposition" was also appeared on the original soundtrack album of the movie (500) Days of Summer (which is a very good soundtrack album, the best soundtrack album in the year 2009 in my opinion). In October 2009, they appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live, to performed their hit song, "Sweet Disposition" Live.

"The Temper Trap, lead by frontman Dougy, have been writing and touring Australia, catching the ears of many, including world renowned producer Jim Abiss who made the journey to melbourne to assist the Temper Trap in delivering their debut record. With a series of epic new tracks set for release on their much anticipated debut album, the band has conquered adventurous new territory, building on their rich foundations in a natural progression. Legendary Artic Monkey's and Kasabian Producer Jim Abiss flew over to Melbourne to be at the helm. The Results of this brilliant new evolution in sound will persuasively draw you in. The Temper Trap have undeniably delivered."

For your info, their Vocalist, Dougy, is an Indonesian. So, as fellow indonesians, i'm so proud to see Indonesian musician like him to be in a great band. The Temper Trap is busy scheduled to perform in many shows such as in London (which the ticket is sold out), Paris, Berlin, USA, etc. Hopefully they will come to Jakarta sometime.

Their album is now available on iTunes, and aksara bookstore.
