The Cairos are an alternative indie ensemble originating from Brisbane, formed in 2007. The lineup consists of Alistar Richardson on vocals and guitar, Alfio Alivuzza handling guitar, Reuben Schafer on bass, and Jacob Trotter playing drums.

Their discography includes one full-length album, Dream of Reason, which was produced by Nick Didia and released in May 2014. This album achieved a peak position of No. 6 on the ARIA Hitseekers Albums chart, representing a notable achievement in their commercial trajectory.

Following a hiatus that began in 2016 without a specified end date, The Cairos made a short-lived return for festival appearances starting in 2020. They officially regrouped in May 2024, unveiling the single "Take a Look at Yourself," marking their renewed engagement within the Australian indie music scene.
