Biography

The group consists of Kevin Stathis (vocals, guitar), Haydn Green (bass), and Luca Watson (drums), who met whilst attending the same high school playing jazz together. [1] [2] Stathis coined the name of the group when he was 18, taking inspiration from a drifting team. [3]

The trio released their debut single "Jewellery" on 31 May 2018, which would later be part of their debut EP Bad Posture released on 21 February 2020. In a review published for No Wave, writer Andrew O'Keefe described the EP "feels like a bodily experience; one which strongly emphasises tone, power and rich production." [4]

Shady Nasty would self-release their debut album TREK on 21 February 2025, with production from Kim Moyes from The Presets. Describing the album, Moyes stated that "[Shady Nasty] hold a unique place in Sydney and have built something they can truly claim as their own." [5] The following month, the group were the support act for British band Shame at The Metro Theatre in Sydney. [6]

In May 2025, DJ and producer Fred Again.. gave the trio a shoutout on his Twitch stream whilst playing their single "SCREWDRIVA," stating that they were "literally [his] favourite band in the world right now" after being introduced to them by fellow DJ Kettama. [5] The group would then release a collaboration with the two DJs in July 2025, titled "Air Maxes," which went on to be featured on Kettama's debut album Archangel . [7] [8]
