Alistar  – vocals, guitar, keyboards, banter; Alfio – guitar, cocals, mood and atmosphere; Reuben – bass guitar, vocals, talking to girls; and Jacob – drums, vocals, morals.

Hometown:
Brisbane.

Short description of your band and your music:
The Cairos are four young lads from Brisbane. We hang out in a warehouse in the suburbs and write music that's inspired by everything from '60s pop groups to '90s shoegaze tunes.

What are you hoping to achieve from showcasing at BIGSOUND?
Okay... BIGSOUND To Do List: 1.  Meet Johann Ponniah from I OH YOU. 2.  Kidnap The Preachers. 3.  Play a decent set of music. 4.  Ask Steve Whilton if there is any way to delete Neil Diamond from my Last.Fm history.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the myriad bands at BIGSOUND?
I can't make any promises, but there is a small chance that we will be doing a cover of one song from every band that's playing at BIGSOUND. In which case, you won't need to see the other bands anyway.
