Biography
Central Deli Band were a dance rock band born out of Whyalla, South Australia in early 2004 by locals Matthew Hayward and Luke Eygenraam (both vocals, guitar and sampling). After being discovered as part of a regional music initiative through Carclew Youth Arts, CDB were asked to play the local produce stage of the 2005 Big Day Out. Known for their outrageous and often confrontational antics live, they were soon supporting and touring with notable groups such as The Avalanches (on their last live national tour), Gerling, The Presets, Faker and Midnight Juggernauts.
The band received limited national airplay on the youth broadcaster Triple J for their tracks 'Goldfingerin' Mofo' and 'Bad Girls'. After a particularly volatile interstate tour with The Grates, internal differences caused the band to split in late 2006. The band played it's last show with the Lost Valentinos on 10th December 2006.
Luke Eygenraam, Tim Whitt and Jimmy Boss went on to form the more hip-hop dance orientated group The Waterslides, Matt Hayward led the brief indie rock band Sidewalks and currently manages Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!
