Hello, this is the website of Jarrad Payne. I am a drummer, producer and composer living in Adelaide, South Australia.
Here you will find many mp3s and some videos of music by me and some of my friends. Much of it was recorded live, some of it is available to buy, some of it is just rough ideas put up for kicks.
You can contact me at ja@scheerleaders.com if you wish, or through Facebook if you're into that sort of thing - but write something in the message bit so I know you're not just some permafrosty-hearted marketing researcher or general crazy person.
All the music up here is under copyright, so if you want to use any of it for something that you or someone will be selling then please contact me first. If you want to use it for something you won't be profiting from then that's cool, but please send me a link when you're done. Everyone else: enjoy!... or be enjoyed.

Moose and Squirrel is what happens every time Chris, Jamie and I get together and play without specific instructions or stylistic guidance. The music is usually fairly intense, loud and fun.
For this gig we had artist Steve O'connor arting on stage with us. The songs are named after what he drew.
Expertly engineered and bootlegged by Marty Jones, one of the best and least-whiney sound guys in Adelaide.
Chris Martin – keyboards
Jamie Mensforth – bass
Jarrad Payne – drums
1.1 Immermann

Minotaur - Zeal VJ set (Jarrad Payne/Ronnie Taheny)
The music here is the midsection from the song Minotaur, but the visuals are being manipulated in real-time by Zeal, otherwise known as Robert Jarvis. Check out his latest clip while you're at it - it's for Agnes Kain's song Gideon.

We had a lot of fun playing John Zorn's Cobra game piece. It was the first time I'd ever played with Adam or Hilary, and also my first time playing the banjo in front of a crowd. I think the whole thing sounds pretty damn good. Expertly recorded by Marty Jones, Adelaide's most versatile and least-likely-to-whine-about-difficult-bands-to-engineer-for sound-engineer.
Stephen Whittington – conductor/some noisy things
Derek Pascoe – tenor saxophone
Chris Martin –piano
Hilary Kleinig – cello
Adam Ritchie – guitar/laptop
Jarrad Payne – drums/banjo

This was one of the first Satan's Cheerleaders shows, professionally recorded so we could use it as a demo to get more shows. A lot has chaned since 2006 but I still think this sounds pretty good. If you like this somewhat you will freaking love the album - grab it from one of these links:

Lyndon Gray - bass
Stuart Earl - tenor sax, keyboards
