Axis of Awesome

"Their musical lampoons really hit the mark…they had the audience in stitches, hooting for an encore – 4 stars" - The Age

Astounding. Incredible. Mind-blowing. All of these words are used by the Axis of Awesome on frequent occaisions.

Throughout their mind-blowing career, the Axis of Awesome have done some astounding things. Incredible!

They are Australia’s newest musical comedy sensation. In the short yet incredible time they have been a band, they have performed to sell out crowds across the country.

"An hilarious piss-take… using catchy tunes and pitch perfect harmonies" - Beat Magazine

"A fantastic hour of entertainment. The Axis of Awesome may just become my new favourite band!" - The Groggy Squirrel

Their 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show "The Axis of Awesome Comeback Spectacular" won them a Moosehead award, and played to packed houses and rave reviews.

Their satirical clips on the 2007 Federal Election shot them to internet superstardom. The clips were seen on Sunrise, Friday Night Download, JTV and by hundreds of thousands of people across Australia and the world, including Kevin Rudd. He declined to comment on the clip, but it’s pretty safe to say he loved it.

The Axis consists of Jordan Raskopoulos, Benny Davis and Lee Naimo.

Jordan Raskopoulos: Lead vocals. Star of stage and screen, Jordan is best known for his work on "The Ronnie Johns Half Hour" on Channel 10. His memorable characters and humorous lines were both memorable and humorous. Currently a National Theatresports Champion, Jordan was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival for his one-man show, "The Adventures of the Man With the Dominant Claw". Jordan enjoys Snickers bars and the music of David Bowie.

Benny Davis: Keyboard, vocals. A classically trained musician, Benny brings some class to the Axis. And a portable keyboard. As an original member of the sketch comedy troupe "The Delusionists", Benny was a stand out in their 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show. A regular cast member of almost every improvised comedy show in Sydney, Benny is a virtuoso on the keyboard. Benny enjoys Guitar Hero on Nintendo Wii and the music of Elton John.

Lee Naimo: Guitar, way way back up vocals. One of Sydney’s best improvisers, Lee has made stuff up while touring Australia and internationally. Along with Jordan, Lee is a current National Theatresports Champion, and he is co-creator of the hit live show, "Scrabble Unscripted", which was a sold-out success at both the Melbourne and Cracker Comedy Festivals in 2006 and 2007. Lee enjoys sunshine and the music of the Dixie Chicks.

Their debut album "Scissors, Paper, ROCK!" is out now, and they will soon be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They leave men laughing and women gasping (and also laughing). They are Australia’s newest musical comedy sensation. Get ready to have your face blown off its hinges.
