The Preatures are an Australian band from Sydney, New South Wales. The five-piece was formed in 2010 and features Isabella Manfredi on vocals/keyboards, Jack Moffitt (guitar), Thomas Champion (bass) and Luke Davison (drums). In 2013, the band won the Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition with their song "Is This How You Feel?".[1]
History
Champion and Moffitt were high school friends who met Manfredi at the Australian Institute of Music in 2008. They formed a band playing "bad Rolling Stones covers" and in 2010 added Gideon Bensen and Luke Davison under the name The Preachers.[2]
In 2012, they changed the spelling of their name to The Preatures to avoid legal complications with other bands with similar names, signed with Mercury Records and released the EP Shaking Hands.[3] The EP featured the single "Take a Card" and was featured on Triple J Unearthed.[4]
In 2013, they released a second EP, Is This How You Feel? featuring two singles, "Is This How You Feel?" and "Manic Baby". The single "Is This How You Feel?" attracted considerable success, winning the $50,000 Vanda & Young prize, being nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Pop Release,[5] and being voted ninth in the prestigious Triple J Hottest 100.[6]
Blue Planet Eyes, their debut studio album, was released on 30 September 2014,[7] which peaked at No. 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[8] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 the group were nominated in three categories.[5]
Gideon Bensen left the band on good terms in March 2016.[citation needed]
