Formed in the UK in 2000, and taking the name from a bus timetable, The Daytime Frequency is the culmination of many years of songwriting by Matthew Sigley.

From playing in bands such as Drop City, The Earthmen, Blindside, Polak (UK), The Millicents, (just to name a few...!), Matthew has honed his keen pop sensibility spending time in Melbourne, London,
and most recently the U.S.

By the end of 2001, Matthew decided it was time to return to his native Melbourne. 2002 saw the live debut of The Daytime Frequency augmented as a 4 piece by David Owen on bass (The Millicents/Aberdeen),Derek John Yuen on drums (The George Ernest Collective) and Marcel Borrack on lead guitar. The same
year also saw the release of one of the Loophole sessions 'I Should Have Trusted The Sun' on the Sixpack Records 'Longneck Music Sampler'.In December 2002 Matthew also joined Matt Tow of Drop City's new group The Lovetones. Early 2003 saw The Daytime Frequency reduced to just Matthew Sigley, as he continued to write and demo songs for the as yet unreleased debut 'Coming Out Of Delay'. In May 2003, a Lovetones tour of the US led to Matthew meeting The Brian Jonestown Massacre's driving force Anton Newcombe. He gave Anton a 5 track CD of Daytime Frequency four track demos that resulted in the songs being put on the BJM's
website as mp3 downloads.

Now the present...
The Daytime Frequency's debut LP 'Sun Opus Is Upon Us' recorded by Matthew at home with help from Derek John Yuen on drums, Luke Howard on keyboards and Peter Monsbourgh on flute is completed.
A blend of pastoral, psychedelic, electronic, folk and baroque sounds, these songs are now receiving an airing as The Daytime Frequency returns to the live scene in a new lineup of Matthew Sigley on keyboards and guitar, Luke Howard on keyboards and Derek John Yuen on drums.
