Ill Received began life as Puppetmunk, forming as a three-piece in Hanmer Springs in September 2001. After shows around Christchurch with the likes of RSI, Molly Says Go and The Heist, the group decided to expand their line-up and change their name.
Recruiting their manager Bentos on vocals and ex-Molly Says Go man Toby Retallick on guitar, the band re-christened themselves Ill Received and have continued to further establish themselves in the Christchurch scene.
They have also supported touring bands such as The Offbeats.
Ill Received are:
Bentos (vocals)
TJ (drums)
Ruben (bass, vocals)
Toby Retallick (guitar, vocals)
Andy (vocals, guitar)
