Rhombic Void began in 1995 under the name of "Half Constructed Beard" . Starting out as an ad hoc blues and jazz outfit, we have developed into a rock band of many influences. However, at the time of forming, the bands main aim was to have fun, consisting of 2 guitarists, a drummer, bassist, singer and flautist.

We played at the local club, which hoped to pull in the uni student crowd. On our first gig, we pulled in no less than a total of 8 dedicated fans, which did not encourage a continuing relationship with the club. However, we managed to play the odd party and college bash over the year, and as time went by, our line up changed and molded into a four piece. The flautist and one of the guitarist left for overseas, and we picked up a singer -Rod.

So with this line-up, including Tim on bass, me (Don) on guitar, Dave Rule on drums and Rod as our frontman and singer, we began to get a vision and started some serious song-writing. The first song to emerge was "Traveller", which sparked a chemistry with its catchy rhythm and melody. Other songs that came from this line-up included "Burning Eyes", "Dream World", "Only the Lonely", "Gasoline" and "Funk Cafe".

By 1997 we had performed at several parties and local pub gigs, performing our originals as well as some covers such as U2's "Even Better than the Real Thing", "All Along the Watchtower", "Cross Roads" and other classics. However, the line-up began to break up as the drummer left due to career constraints, and the singer moved outside Sydney for studies. As a result, it was a quiet stage for the Void, but we used the time to work on our song-writing, thus producing "Plastic Woman", "Fire Breather" and "Worm" (still not really finished), as well as finishing up some loose ends of all the old songs.

Since we had lost half our line, we also used the best part of the year searching for replacements. Advertising in local mags ("Drum Media" etc), we talked and interviewed several singers, who were turned down usually for problems with "attitude" and "ego", before we got to even test for talent. Drummers seemed to have more reasonable personalities, and were joined in our line up by a drummer called Alfie. So for a good 6-9 months we survived as a three piece, working on some more material with almost enough for 2 sets of original material.

The final stage to date, occurred during Autumn of '98, as Alfie left the line-up, but we found a new drummer in the form of Jason Russell, who has had much experience in several Christian bands through the uni circuit. Furthermore, we were also fortunate to get our old singer, Rodrigo back, as he moved back to the inner city, and thus our present line-up is a solid four piece.
