Sun Dec. 13: Backsliders ** $20** – bookings essential ph: 9979 6633 :
It’s from the northern hill country surrounding the Mississippi delta that Australian blues stalwarts Backsliders take their sonic cues. That driving, repetitious groove, it’s minimal chord changes giving it a distinct feeling and focus, something that Backsliders have proven adept at mastering, all while adding their own unique Australian way to it. With guitar & vocals by Dom Turner, drummer extraordinaire, Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil, Ghostwriters) and the harmonica attack of Joe Glover. With their 11th studio album, Darkside, Backsliders are proving that there’s new meat to be pulled from old bones as they continue to put a new take on the blues.
Check them out here at Bluesfest 2012 https://youtu.be/8-EJ8u_QSCM
..’Without a dispute the best blues band in Australia. Their material is impeccable and their musicianship is a wonder to behold’ – SMH
