History

The band comprised of Australia natives Justin Stewart Cotta (vocals, keyboard), Space (guitar), Leighton "Lats" Kearns (bass) and American Steve Clark (drums).

Justin Stewart Cotta and Leighton Kearns re-emerged as "Man Vs Clock" in 2005. Man Vs Clock never achieved any notable success, and is no longer in existence.


In early 2006, Memento reformed with a new drummer, Jeff Bowders, under the name "Tower", which was later changed to "Ether".

They have signed a deal with EMI Music, and are set to release a full length album in 2007, followed by tours in the United States, Europe, Japan and back to their native homeland of Australia.
