Biography

Robert Warren played bass guitar in various Australian bands in both Brisbane and Sydney from 1985 to the present, including chronologically, The Closest Thing, Dementia 13, The Egyptians, Sanity Assassins, The Reptile House, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Died Pretty (1991–2002),^[2] Lodestar, Hissy Fit, Mr Blonde and Libero Vox.

Most recently, Warren has performed with The Exploding Boys who act as the backing band for tribute shows featuring various singers.

Warren's recorded material is notable for driving, "tribal-sounding" bass lines, and bass lines that provided the melody line in a song by using chord variations, most often against a pedal note. The prominent use of the bass guitar to provide such melodic interest was a feature of many Died Pretty recordings and can be traced throughout the band's history. Warren has appeared in eight Died Pretty videos and press interviews in various media outlets.
