About the band

VOXNEON is a four-piece cover band from Sydney, Australia, performing authentic versions of new wave & alternative synth pop anthems originally recorded by the pioneering artists of the late 70's / early 80's. Armed with a range of synths & Simmons drums they recreate the signature sounds of the era. Their performances, complete with arpeggiated basslines, soaring keytar solos and dramatic vocals, are polished and compelling, paying total respect to the original artists and filling dance floors at sell-out shows. The live show incorporates custom video & lighting for a unique & immersive Synth / New Wave experience.

Nick:
Synths, Keytar, BV, Programming, Live PA & Logistics

Nick’s love of all things synth started in his mid-teens. Influenced by iconic bands of the era like Kraftwerk, Devo, Human League, Depeche Mode & Pseudo Echo, Nick's first purchase was a Sequential Pro-One. Augmented by a Roland TR808 & Jupiter 6, synths became a life-long passion. Nick has performed in numerous bands but his dream of recreating 80’s synth anthems was realized when he was contacted by Shaun via BandMix in March 2019. This kindled the beginnings of what was to be VOXNEON and they started scouring the local scene to find other like-minded musicians who could help turn dreams into reality.

John:
Synths, Bass, Guitar, BV, Programming & Production

Growing up in Bristol (UK), John's passion for music was sparked by Tubeway Army hit Are Friends Electric? There was a piano in the house, so keyboards seemed the obvious choice with his first purchase, at 18, being a MkIII ARP Odyssey (as used by Billy Currie). John played in a couple of Bristol bands throughout his 20s, writing & performing original material, before taking a break due to family & work commitments. John moved to Australia in 2009 and was approached by Shaun and Nick in April 2019. Meeting at a local cafe, the rapport was immediate with John starting work on VOXNEON material that afternoon.

Jon:
Lead Vocals

Jon grew up amongst the burgeoning synth-pop scene in Melbourne, sneaking in to pubs at a young age to watch young acts such as Pseudo Echo, Kids in the Kitchen, INXS and Machinations. Passionate about getting behind the mic and performing, Jon got involved in various music projects spanning Melbourne and London, before settling back to Sydney and working around the traps for various pop and rock outfits. Jon was delighted to get a call from VOXNEON in early 2025 to provide vocal support. He became the permanent front man in Dec 2025 and found his musical spiritual home amidst these synth-pop wizards.

Tony:
Drums, Percussion, BV

Tony’s journey began in his teens, fuelled by a fascination with the power of rock drumming and the emerging electronic sounds of the early 80s. Influenced by bands such as Japan, Ultravox & Kraftwerk, he blended acoustic drums with electronics and pioneereed the early use of Simmons drums in Australia. He toured nationally with The Choirboys and other artists before relocating to South Korea to consolidate his reputation with high-profile studio work. Returning to Australia, Tony worked across multiple projects before bringing his expertise to VOXNEON, finding an immediate synergy with the band’s sound and vision.
