Tony Del Roio

Growing up playing bass guitar, Tony loves the sounds of his collection of Vintage Fender Basses.

Tony rocks out with his ’69 Precision bass and ’78 Jazz Bass after hours gigging around Perth with his brother in their original line up supporting some of the best Australian acts such as Daryl Braithwaite, Diesel, Jimmy Barnes, The Black Sorrows, Mark Seymour and Ian Moss just to name a few.

Tony begun his journey with Concept Music in 2002 as the Bass Specialist and currently also assists Graham as store manager.

Tony also owns a couple of drum kits and loves laying down a few drum tracks in the studio satisfying his love of grooves.

Home Recording, Bass, Drums, Effects, PA’s, Amps, whatever the question, fire it past Tony and he will help you make it happen!

Simon is currently playing in two original punk/rock’n’roll bands, “The New Husseins” and “Lucille” drawing influence from bands including Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Motorhead, The Clash, GBH, Turbonegro, etc.

Simon plays a Tokai SG75, ’87 Gibson Les Paul Custom and Gibson SG ’61 Reissue through an ’89 Marshall 2100 JCM800 head and 1960BV cabinet. For clean sounds he uses a Fender Hotrod Deluxe and Wah is a must with a Dunlop Crybaby.

Damian Crosbie

Damian is best known as the front man for local experimental pop group The Panda Band. He has written, recorded and produced much of the bands three highly acclaimed independent recordings; the Sleepy Little Deathtoll Town EP, This Vital Chapter, and Charisma Weapon. These recordings have received considerable rotation on radio stations nationally, as well as in Europe and North America. His songs and performances are also featured on many compilations including Triple J ‘s popular ‘Hottest 100’, ‘Home and Hosed’ and ‘Like A Version’ releases.

The band has allowed Damian to tour all over the world including events such as ‘In The City’ Manchester, two SXSW Festivals, CMJ New York, and six months living and playing in the USA. The band has supported international acts such as Supergrass, Cold War Kids, and Gomez, and local stars including The Sleepy Jackson, Little Birdy and The Grates. His work has earned him multiple WAM Songwriting and Performance Awards, and an APRA Professional Development Award.

Damian has far too many instruments to list, but his current live set up is a 62 Reissue Fender Jazzmaster into a 4x10” Fender Super Amp. His “heavily cropped” (!) effects board includes an EHX Small Stone Phaser, some hand-made boutique fuzz boxes, two MI Audio Deluxe Blues Pro Overdrives, and a vintage Ibanez AD80 analog delay. He loves playing his Diesel Mini Maton for live acoustic performances, and also has a passion for new musical technology, utilizing soft synths and sequencers in his home studio which he uses extensively in his recordings.

Peter Helfgott

Electric & acoustic guitars & effects pedals.

Peter Helfgott has played in several cover and original bands around the place but is now concentrating on writing original music in an indi rock band with his sister. Peter gets into all types of music and, although mainly influenced by prog rock and metal, he is definitely not naive when it comes to other genres.

Peter plays a Musicman Silhouette electric guitar though a Fender Vibrolux Reverb amp and for the heavier side of things, he uses a Rivera Head with a 212 cab. Acoustic wise, Peter plays a Martin 000-16GTE which is the main guitar used in his original band. Peter is a big fan of pedals and has a large array of boutique and vintage stomp boxes which can give him sounds varying from sparkling cleans to heavy distorted tones, with everything in between.

Although music is Peters main passion, it is not the only thing in his life.  Skateboarding is another obsession of his, trying to step on his board at least once a day. Although he doesn't take it as serious as he used to, having made many friends through skateboarding, it is an important part of his life and always will be. Peter is also at university studying history and although is unsure what he will do with his degree, he loves it. Peter loves to travel and has travelled throughout Europe several times and has even played at a wedding in Spain!

Rob Radomiljac

Rob started with Concept Music at the original West Perth store way back in 1994 so he has many, many years experience under his belt!  His interest in playing guitar was first sparked by watching “Back to the Future” as a kid.  “Some time later I bought my first electric which was a second hand Strat copy... it had a custom red and white “Van Halen” striped finish. it didn’t play the best but so it looked cool!” says Rob.

Rob has owned some awesome guitars over the years and some of his favourites include a Music Man Luke, Music Man  Silhouette, Gibson Les Paul Classic, and numerous Fender Strats.

At the moment he is enjoying playing his Music Man EVH guitar and 2007 Fender Strat.
