Illreceived began life as "Puppetmunk", forming as a three-piece
in Hanmer Springs in September 2001. After shows around
Christchurch with the likes of RSI ,Molly Says Go and The Heist,
the group decided to expand their line-up and change their name.
Recruiting their manager Bentos on vocals and ex-Molly Says Go
man Toby Retallick on guitar, the band re-christened themselves
"Illreceived" and have continued to further establish
themselves in the Christchurch scene.
They have supported touring bands such as The Offbeats
and are currently planning to tour further afield to
get to fresh crowds all over the country,
as well as recording a debut EP.
