Line up(s) available: 3 piece (trio) Risemann - Produced and managed by Rob Pippan (founder of The Zep Boys) Risemans is derived from Nathan Hein’s original band Rise. After the band, Rise disbanded, Nathan wanted to keep the name due to the enormous history behind it and decided to call his solo act Risemann. After performing his original music around Adelaide for 12 months, he came across drummer Joel Stibbard who took a liking to his style of playing and thought he could complement Nathan’s original feel. They spent the next six months perfecting Nathan’s songs, while keeping a look out for a bass player. It was by chance that Nathan would have a general chat to a guy at his local gym. His name was Neil Pearce and he was a self confessed music lover and bass player,. He hadn’t played for the past 2 years due to family and work commitments but was busting to get back into the scene. Having already tried out numerous bass players, Nathan and Joel kept an open mind and did not expect much from Neil when he arived for his fi rst practice. Their thoughts soon changed after their first 2 hours together - Neil picked up 5 of Nathan’s songs with the slightest of ease. It wasn’t just how quickly he picked them up, but also the original feel he put into the songs. After 3 practices the trio had a reportoire of 15 songs completed, with Neil also starting to interact with Nathan’s keyboard as well. The band Risemann was born! They began playing local pubs around Adelaide, but having been disheartened by the lack of success in the band Rise, Nathan knew that their journey would have to break down musical walls. Nathan met Susie Chester at the start of 2006. With her enthusiasm of loving Nathan’s music and after making a few calls, she got them a gig at The Darwin Fringe Festival 06 and became Risemann's first manager. They featured at several main venues and supported The Beautiful Girls at the Top End’s biggest show during the Fringe to a sold out crowd at The Darwin Town Hall ruins. It was from that night that Risemann was no longer a local original band. It gave the boys the belief that they could perform to an Australian crowd and win the hearts of those who saw them. They sold countless CD’s and signed autograph after Autogragh. It was a night to remember. After returning to SA, Risemann then realised they needed to have a debut Album. Their Manager, Susie, relocated to SA to be close to the boys. Risemann did not expand on their success from Darwin and was soon back playing to the small Adelaide pub scene. But this did not stop the drive of Risemann in any way. Being the only Original outfit to be affiliated with The Cancer Council of South Australia, they have been donating their time and effort to perform for every Relay for Life show in South Australia and donate 10% of all their earnings to the Cancer Council. Risemann's soul purpose for the past 14 months has been for the making and release of their Debut Album “New Evolution” Due to be released in November 2007.
