Define your genre in five words or less:
Vintage ten-piece Mexican Rocanrol.
What do you love about making music?
I love the total creative freedom! Where else could I find such mixed-up Mexi-Melbourne sounds, dress up in crazy mariachi-inspired costumes and party with nine friends every show?
What do you hate about the music industry?
That’s a strong word, but it would have to be the fact that musicians are the last ones to make any money in this industry. Of course we do it for more reasons than money alone, but wouldn’t it be grand if more of us could afford to do it full-time?
What can a punter expect from your live show?
They can expect a sudden desire for tequila and witness the most unlikely dude up the back to dance in public for the first time in their life!
So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer
and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
“Shit dude! Check out the mariachi outlaws in there!? We’re missing out!”
Catch ABBIE CARDWELL & THE CHICANO ROCKERS at the Chopped Rod & Custom Festival, Friday October 5 to Sunday October 7, Newstead.
