The Casanovas are an Australian hard rock band, which formed in 1999 by Patrick Boyce on drums, his brother Tommy on lead vocals and lead guitar, and Jimmy Lewis on bass guitar. They have released three albums, The Casanovas (May 2004), All Night Long (July 2006) and Terra Casanova (2015).

History

The Casanovas were formed in late 1999 in Melbourne as a hard rock trio by brothers Patrick "Paddy" Boyce on drums and Tommy Boyce (a.k.a. Tommy Love)[1] on lead vocals and lead guitar, with Jimmy Lewis on bass guitar.[1][2] Their debut single, "10 Outta 10", was released in August 2000, they added another guitarist, James Saunders.[1] Their first extended play, Keep It Hot, appeared in September 2002. During 2002 Saunders left and Lewis was replaced on bass by Damian "Damo" Campbell.

Starting in December 2002 they toured Australia, United Kingdom and supported New Zealand group, the Datsuns, for their European tour. This was followed by five dates in the United States in March 2003. Their single, "Shake It" (March 2003), received considerable Triple J airplay.[3] Carly Sticpewich of Oz Music Project described it as "hip-shaking rock turned up to 11 that you can get drunk to while you figure out how you're going to become as cool as singer/guitarist Tommy Love. Which, of course, is impossible because rock stars as cool as this are damn hard to imitate. Eat your heart out."[3]

They toured with the Datsuns, again, in October 2003 to New Zealand. They followed by two more Australian tours; one with the Living End in November–December. In December 2003 Paddy Boyce left the group and was replaced on drums by Jordan "Jaws" Stanley (ex-the Onyas) in the following January.[4] Campbell explained "It was long time coming and everyone is still on good relations but Paddy just wanted to go and do other projects... We had to train [Stanley] up nice and quick. His first two shows were in Sydney with the Darkness and then The Big Day Out. That's putting the pressure on."[4]

They followed by another tour in early 2004 with Starky and the Specimens. Their first album, which is self-titled, was released in May of that year. Oz Music Project{{'}}s Tim Coyle felt they "have been cruising on the groundswell of enthusiasm for four-square beats and power chord + clever-dick-solo guitar pyrotechnics, providing their rock mission statement."[5]

AllMusic's Eduardo Rivadavia observed that they "not only succeed at pulling off mirror-image AC/DC blues bombers like 'Livin' in the City', 'Shake It', and evergreen first single, '10 Outta 10', with remarkably little evident guilt; they also know how and when to step out of the box without embarrassing themselves."[6] They went on to play some dates in New York City in July and then a tour of Japan in September 2004.

A second album, All Night Long came out in 2006, from which they have released two singles, Born to Run, and their latest, California.

Born to Run was featured on the soundtrack of video game publisher EA Sports' title, Rugby 06, as well as being the main song for Melbourne based video game developers IR Gurus' title, AFL Premiership 2006, whilst Shake It was used in three Videogames: F1 2011 (Codemasters), WRC 4 (Evolution Studios) and This is Football 2005 (London Studio) .

The Song Livin' in the City is featured on the soundtrack of the Australian film Thunderstruck, released in 2004.

Their third Album Terra Casanova was released in 2015.
