Bio
"The Cairos were the winners of the 2007 Brizband School Challenge, adjudicated by audience vote alone after a blistering performance at the Brisbane Riverstage. Yet this is merely a brief pitstop on what has been a meteoric rise – the band’s infectious indie pop earning them an extensive underage following, as well as growing mainstream interest.

Forged only eight months ago, The Cairos have emerged as an integral cornerstone of Brisbane’s vibrant underage community. Playing everywhere from all-ages festivals to pirate suburban warehouses, they’ve established themselves as one of Brisbane’s most-promising radar-fringe acts. Now high school graduates, The Cairos have set about establishing themselves amongst the local independent music fraternity.” - "Local News by gumbuoy, 20th March, 2008"
The cairos have played alongside artists such as:
-Wolf & Cub
- Yves Klein Blue
- John Steel Singers
- The Holidays
- The Red Paintings
- Small Mercies

Such a beautiful song with a catchy chorus, which is in no way one dimensional.
The instrumental section is just gorgeous, especially with the blissful vocals as it all just washes over you.

Review by: <Lady> , 2.8.2008

I adore the streaks of darkness and psychadelia on Fear Of Madness, it really shows the depth these young lads are already capable of creating.
A really gorgeous track and yet another reason to keep an ear and eye out for The Cairos.

All of my friends and easily call this song our favourite cairos song, and the line
'I'm looking for a, new balance, just can't handle this not living in your ambience' is one of the catchiest lines in any of the songs i listen to on a regular basis. The Cairos ROCK.
