Formed from the ashes of legendary Gold Coast covers band, 'Animal', Sector 7G was a high-energy four piece dedicated to delivering faithful reproductions of alternative, top forty and retro guitar-oriented music.
With band members aged between 26 and 35 years, 'Sector 7G' draws upon fifty plus years of collective entertainment experience. The members of 'Sector 7G' have strived to put together a line up of professional musicians who provide a diverse, raw and energetic musical act which will keep venues pumping.

Arno has drumming in his blood from his father, who was a professional drummer and tutor. Drumming (guitaring/tromboning) from the age of 5, he has continued to play all percussion forms and has been involved in active bands in Newcastle (while at the Newcastle Music Conservatorium), and Lismore NSW where he studied percussion at the Contemporary Souther Cross Uni.
