The Red Paintings are an art rock band from Brisbane, Australia, originally from Geelong. The band consists of Trash McSweeney on lead vocals, guitar, sequencing and samples; Ellen Stancombe (violin, tin whistle, vocals); Mike Langdale (bass), Andy Davis (drums) and David Sue Yek (Cello).
The band is well known for their unique and confronting live performances, in which the band members dress in elaborate costumes ranging from geisha outfits to alien suits. They often invite members of the audience to paint on blank canvasses during their shows, and consider each gig an experiment as well as a performance.

@BecomingX: I agree with you completely; seeing them live will only augment your thoughts and perceptions of them by one-hundred percent (if not more, because it's certainly possible). The Red Paintings is innovative and fresh, portraing a vividness that hasn't been captured by 99% of today's music. If you haven't seen them live, do yourself a favor and experience divinity.
