This Mildura/Melbourne band play around the traps quite a bit. Live, they are pretty unique, and shitloads of fun. Just the two of them, they put on a show that needs to be seen to be believed.
How does the live show translate into the recorded form? Well, it’s kind of a mixed bag. Firstly, the lack of a bass guitar, and thus some decent bottom end, is painfully apparent, even though they try hard to accommodate for its absence in the mix. The songs are bluesy/boogie flavoured old school rock, the type of which has been done incessantly for the past 50 years. The Led Zeppelin influence is very clear, and the lyrics are all about chicks, partying and rock’n’roll.
The only real originality here is the fact that there are only two of them. If you dig your rock with four chords and a bluesy swagger, then check this out. If you hunger for something more in your rock sounds, maybe give this a wide berth. But definitely check out their live show, no matter what. It’s a scream.
