THE POTBELLEEZ

Originally a couple of Irish tourists on holiday, arriving in Australia in 2003, Dave Goode and Johnny Sonic managed to turn a couple of low-key DJ sets into a full-time career and chart topping global success.

When Rolling Stone's Tim Duggan proclaimed THE POTBELLEEZ to be "the fastest rising stars of the dance scene" in 2006, the journalist foresaw what would be almost unanimously obvious to the wider industry and music fans alike only 18 months later.

With the biggest dance single of the sun soaked southern summer under their belt 'Don't Hold Back', a non-stop touring schedule which sees them in high-demand all across Australia and Europe and a gargantuan debut album due for imminent release in September this year, The Potbelleez have arrived!

'Don't Hold Back' spent an incredible 17 weeks as no. 1 in the ARIA dance charts and 29 weeks in the ARIA Top 40 singles chart. The single also went platinum selling over 90,000 units - a feat made all the more impressive considering the declining singles market.

With their reputation now squarely on the dance world's radar, The Potbelleez stand as unquestionably one of Australia's most in-demand acts and they won't disappoint their legion of avid fans at HOMEBAKE this year.
