The Temper Trap is a band out of Australia that evokes memories of Radiohead, Massive Attack, U2, and Prince. The atmospheric rock has helped them sell their debut album Conditions and Temper Trap tickets around much of the world.
This alternative rock quartet features Dougry Mandagi leading the way on vocals and playing rhythm guitar, Jonathon Aherne playing bass and singing backup, Lorenzo Sillitto playing lead guitar and the keyboard, and Toby Dundas on drums. The Temper Trap brings Joseph Greer along on tours to play keyboard, guitar, and even sing a little bit.
The group met in college at Wesley College in Melbourne. They gelled and created their own band, offering atmospheric rock to the local scene in 2005. A few years later, the UK began to take notice. The Temper Trap began to play festivals in England and even went continental, touring Germany and several other European countries.
