Born in 1988 in under the pseudonym Tristan Jamison Grotvedt, Haze has been making up songs since he was about five. Around the middle of a patchy career as a high school student, he discovered The Beatles. This was of considerable importance, and led to many further discoveries. Despite that band's liberal attitude to sense-making in lyrics, it took Tristan some years to escape the literal-mindedness of his juvenile songwriting. But he did.
His and Direz's admixture of melodic and lyrical enlightenment with filthy prog bass has been inflicted upon Sydney audiences for the last couple of years, and now upon bits of plastic, with the release of the Singles EP. Do yourself a favour.
Tristan is also a philosopher, and took a degree in the subject from the University of Sydney in 2008. He is a disciple of Ludwig Wittgenstein, who was active in the first half of the twentieth century. There's no need to worry about any of that, though.
