The Fergusons were a five piece Indie Rock band from Perth , Western Australia . HISTORY When Triple J hosts a sing along at the end of your song on national radio you know you are doing something right. And that 'something' is even more apparent in The Fergusons upcoming new single "Sinner Is Red". Nistelberger belts out the vocals on this track, which marries layered guitars, pop harmonies and powerful percussion into one tidy and enticing package. "Sinner Is Red" pounds out that unique Fegurson' sound which is littered with flashes of Superchunk and Weezer brilliance. The single is the third release from the Perth based band whose previous two EP's, ''Hurting The Washing Machine'' and ''Never Too Young To Hitchhike'' featuring Triple J Hottest 100 entry, "Everything's Gone Bad" received upbeat reviews from press across the country. The band were winners in the category of 'Best Emerging Act' for Western Australia at the Australian Live Music Awards {Link without Title} . "Sinner Is Red" was produced by Melbourne based Lindsay Gravina ( Magic Dirt , Eskimo Joe , Jebediah , The Living End , Jet ). "Sinner Is Red" was released on July 14th, as the first single from The Fergusons' forthcoming album. With major supports, such as in 2003 Splendour In The Grass 2003 lineup , the band had come a long way from their Perth garage. In 2004 The Fergusons supported the Hoodoo Gurus on the Western Australian leg of their national tour FasterLouder.com.au . The Fergusons played a farewell gig early in 2005 to a packed Amplifier Bar with support from a host of Western Australia's favourite indie bands. Though their debut album was in the pipeline for a couple of years, the long-player was never completed. Since the band's split, Nistelberger, Joyce and Beadon have been working on a new project, the Bipolar Bears, which also features Little Birdy drummer Matt Chequer. In 2007 three of the band members, Nistelberger, Joyce and Beadon re-formed for a one off acoustic performance in Fremantle, Western Australia where they were joined on stage by members of Little Birdy , Eskimo Joe and The Avenues FasterLouder.com.au .
