Fishing are a Sydney, Australia-based experimental glitch electronia production duo consisting of Doug Wright and Russell Fitzgibbon. The two began their musical life as the vocalist and drummer, respectively, of indie pop band We Say Bamboulee.
The duo began performing under the moniker as a side-project in 2010, eventually gaining a following through supporting bands such as Tim and Jean, The John Steel Singers, The GO! Team and Cloud Control (whose lead singer Alister Wright is Doug's older brother). Their first release was a seven-inch entitled "OoOo," which was released in 2011. The title track was backed with "Pee Green Bote;" while the digital version of the seven-inch featured bonus tracks and remixes.
The 7" Choy Lin / White Sheet Beach was released on October 2012 in Australia/NZ through Yes Please, as well as in the US/Europe through Waaga Records. The duo collaborated with Australian DJ/producer Alison Wonderland on the single "Get Ready" in 2013. Wright and Fitzgibbon performed on the track as their hip-hop personas from Naughty Rappers Collective. In late May 2014, the duo released their debut album, entitled Shy Glow. It features collaborations with Marcus Whale (Collarbones, Black Vanilla, Scissor Lock), Alister Wright, Lavurn Lee and Jonas Nicholls.
