Brisbane-based Paul J Rogers grew up in Sydney’s south-eastern suburbs, beginning guitar and songwriting at 14. Influenced by Midnight Oil, INXS and U2, he found early success with rock band Real Life Exit (RLX), performing at prestigious venues including Lee’s Palace in Toronto and Sydney’s Selina’s. RLX were signed to Sony affiliate ICM.

Paul later stepped away from music to raise a family, while studying Political Science. He graduated in 2009. From 1998-2012 he volunteered across community and environmental projects.

LIGHT EATER are a dual-bass sludge/noise four-piece from Brisbane/Meanjin that make music to soundtrack
the absurdities of the end times. Stoner, doom and sludge meet shoegaze, industrial and noise in a
primordial amalgam of atmospheric riffs and screeching leads. 

Powered by two bass guitars and tied together with the push-pull dynamics and progressive structures of
post-metal, expect a wall of noise that veers between aggressive and playful, atmospheric and chaotic,
primal and profane. Just don't expect subtlety.
