OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY (2010)
Based in Adelaide, South Australia, Unitopia endeavours to draw from the heart and soul of the listener thought provoking topics such as environmental awareness, political and social upheaval and the hectic pace of life and human relationships in a positive and uplifting light. Using progressive themes as a framework, Unitopia’s music includes elements of world, classical, jazz, heavy rock, and groove.
Mark Trueack (composer / lead vocals / producer), Sean Timms (composer / keyboards / backing vocals / producer) and Matt Williams (guitars / backing vocals / producer) form the nucleus of the band. To complete them, they chose the combined drum/percussion batteries of David Hopgood and Tim Irrgang, Craig Kelly on bass and Daniel Burgess (Sax, clarinet, flute, piccolo, didgeridoo).
They signed their first album deal in 2007 with Canadian Label Unicorn Digital and released “More than a dream”.
In 2008, Unitopia signed a three album deal with InsideOut Music, Germany. The Garden” an ambitious 15 track double CD released in November 2008, firmly established the band as one of the premiere progressive rock acts in the world.
In 2010, Unitopia released their third album, “Artificial” Based on the themes of artificial intelligence, this new CD consolidates Unitopia's position as one of the most exciting progressive rock acts to emerge since the 1970’s.
Progrock.com has chosen “Artificial” as Best Album and “The Great Reward” as Best Track for their 2010 awards. "Artificial" was proclaimed Album of the Year 2010 by AiiRadio.net, paperlate.nl and nominated by the international Jury of Progawards in Italy for Best Foreign Record and Best Production. Mark Trueack also won the honor of 2nd best voice of 2010 on Classic Rock magazine.
Their 2010 European tour brought them to the UK, The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. The critics were unanimous; Unitopia has been one of the best live acts on the Progressive Rock scene in the last few years.” They have been invited by TV Limburg to do a television performance and also filmed one of their performances which have been released on October 2011 as an Indie DVD and a live Cd production.
In October 31st 2012, Unitopia just released their fifth album, Covered Mirror with Musea Records France. Thirteen songs from different bands are revisited with Unitopia's unique touch and already nominated by Paperlate.nl as best album of 2012!
Unitopia is known for supporting worthy causes. “321”, from “The Garden” was created as a touching tribute to the courage, ordeal and eventual rescue of the Beaconsfield miners. The track gained nationwide exposure including a segment on 60 minutes. In May of 2007, with support and funding from the West Tamar Council, the band launched the single “321” at the one year anniversary memorial in Beaconsfield, Tasmania to an audience of nearly 3,000 people.
Unitopia has also allowed the use of other songs for Charity causes such as "Stomp out Cancer" in 2008 "Songs for Haiti" in 2010, and “Strengh” for Japan in 2011. They also donated part proceeds from ticket sales of one of their concert in Adelaide to the Childhood Cancer Foundation.
As lead singer Mark Trueack says, “Music is the doctor!”
