Formed in 2011, Flight to Dubai draw on inspiration from some of the Rock/Alternative’s greats, from way back in the 90’s. While staying true to these fantastic musical ensembles, they are able to bring something special and unique to the music by incorporating their individual influences and experiences into both musical arrangements and lyrics. These four young men came together out of a love for music and continue to foster that by creating music for people to love.

If there is any doubt about who their musical influences are, the song Original Recipe should remove all doubt. The vocalist’s voice bears an eerie resemblance to that of Anthony Kieids, which not only allows them to pay homage to RHCP but puts them comfortably in a category they helped pioneer. With some imaginative guitar riffs and a strong rhythm section to accompany the familiar vocal sound, Flight to Dubai have created a sound that is as pleasant to listen to as it is to easy bounce to in front of the stage.

Currently working on an album, cleverly titled ‘Greatest Hits’ the band promises to follow its release with a tour, bringing their music as far beyond the borders of Sydney as they can get it. I hope this album will also feature some of their current hits – songs which fans can listen to on their triplejunearthed and other online profiles. You can catch them live as part of the international battle of the bands Emergenza on July 5th at the Lair @ Metro.
