A MUSIC ROOM at Mount Lawley Senior High School is to be named after brother and sister musicians Luke and Katy Steele, who attended the school in the 1990s.

Luke fronts Empire of the Sun, and was formerly with The Sleepy Jackson, while Katy fronts Little Birdy.

“Since making it big, Luke has come back to the school and I was really struck by how humble he is,” principal Milton Butcher told the Voice.

“We are trying to find a time when he is in Perth, maybe November, so we can do an official unveiling.

“The room is part of the David Helfgott music facility, which was opened in March.”

The $2 million practice facility was unveiled by the world-famous pianist, who’d briefly attended in year 11 in 1963.

“He told me what mark he got for woodwork,” Mr Butcher said.

“So there are peculiar details he can still remember about his time here.”

Last week Empire of the Sun wrapped up its overseas tour in LA with a sold-out performance at the Hollywood Bowl.
