Sidewinder (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sidewinder was a rock band founded in 1991 by brothers Nick and Martin Craft in the Australian capital Canberra. They supported Welsh U2 on the Australian leg of their Popmart tour. Funnily enough, they also supported the Irish band of the same name, on a tour, which for reasons which shall remain obscure, was also named Popmart. In the same year. Sidewinder's second album Tangerine received much airplay on Australian radio, most notably on Triple J.
