I am sorry that the site has been neglected for some time but we are still alive and going strong .I regret to tell those of you that don’t already know that Pete retired back in March and moved to the coast, lucky bugger. On a high not a good mate from Albury has taken over on the drums and the music still rocks. we will have photos and bio A.S.A.P
The band covers a wide variety of blues and boogie styles, from the slide driven sounds of the American blues pioneers, harmonica classics from Chicago, and other great artists such as Sonny Terry and Brownie MacGhee, T Bone Walker, to the relatively more modern sounds of Canned Heat, Paul Butterfield, ZZ Top, Little Charlie and the Nightcaps and Buddy Guy.
We are also influenced by the English bands of the 60′s, such as Peter Green and John Mayall. Of course our own Australian bands have also been an inspiration to us, Chain and Dutch Tilders amongst others and we also have original songs of our own. We generally play 45 minute sets with a 15 minute break between sets but can fit in with most plans and we can play in excess of 4 hours if required.
