Sneaky Sound System

Sneaky Sound System's are an Australian dance band that has been around for a few years, but this year they have broken into the mainstream music scene with their latest album. The band consists of lead singer Connie Mitchell, Producers Angus McDonal and Daimon Downey (who along with Connie, predominantly appear on the video clips), and band members Peter Dolso, Jono Sloan and Felix Blosom (this trio do not appear so much).

They have not been an overnight success as they started life as an independent act. However their catchy tunes caught the attention of a number of the public and they have supported superstars such Jamiroquai and Robbie Williams when they have toured Australia.

The first single of their latest album was "Pictures" a very catchy dance and funky number which climbed to 19 on the ARIA charts (Aussie Record Industry Association). This was followed by the songs "I love it" and "UFO" (my personal favorite song) which has provided the group with their biggest chart topper to date (number 11). Their album also peaked at number 9 on the chart.

However, their biggest accomplishment has been then garnering 6 ARIA nominations (the most of any artist this year) in the categories of Best Album, Best Group, Best Dance Release, Breakthrough Album, Single of the Year for "UFO" and Best Video - "Pictures"

Connie Mitchell has received world wide acclaim for her vocal skills and features on Kanye West's "Can't tell me nothing" of his latest album "Graduation".
