Biography

The story behind Operator Please's formation could have been a perfect plot for a teen movie. One talented misfit, annoyed at her high school's battle of the bands being won by the popular kids every year, rounds up four fellow talented misfits of differing ages. The five of them spend their lunch breaks practicing and forming friendships despite none of them previously knowing each other from a bar of soap. The band's five members -- Amandah Wilkinson on vocals, Ashley McConnell on bass, Sarah-Jane Gardiner on keyboards, Tim Commandeur on drums, and Taylor Henderson on violin -- released their debut album, Yes Yes Vindictive in 2007. The catchy single "Just A Song About Ping Pong" became Australian radio stations' most-added song and was nominated for two ARIA Awards, including Best Pop Release and Breakthrough Artist, winning in the second category. It was also voted number 27 in that year's national JJJ Hottest 100 poll. The band's second album, Gloves, arrived in 2010.
