Early Years
Lloyd grew up in the inner Sydney suburb of Balmain, where he attended Balmain High School (now Sydney Secondary College, Balmain Campus). In 1990 at the age of 15 he was a member of a school rock band that won the 1990 Balmain Battle of the Bands and the 1990 Canterbury high schools Youth Rock competition. This mainly blue-rock band evolved into "The Beefs" which began playing in local pubs and clubs and into indie rock band Mother Hubbard. Born Alexander Wasiliev, Lloyd adopted his mother's maiden name "Lloyd" in tribute, following her unexpected death in 1991.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“It is so very late that we
May call it early by and by. Good night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“During those years in Stamps, I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare. He was my first white love.... it was Shakespeare who said, “When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes.” It was a state of mind with which I found myself most familiar. I pacified myself about his whiteness by saying that after all he had been dead so long it couldn’t matter to anyone any more.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
