1. Your Profile

We would loosely describe ourselves as cowpunk – i.e. a little bit country and a little bit rock’n’roll with a liberal dose of humour and piss-taking.

2.Keeping Busy

We haven’t been very busy at all since our new axeman Crank Williams upped sticks and left for the Top End to become a crocodile wrangler. However, he will be back on ANZAC Day for our gig at Marrickville Bowlo with our old pals the Handsome Young Strangers.

3.Best Gig Ever

A few years back we toured the east coast as backing band for Jason Ringenberg of Jason and The Scorchers. That was an absolutely mind-blowing and surreal experience and we managed to pull it off with one very brief rehearsal. I witnessed The Scorchers live when I was still in high school, having absolutely no idea I’d be backing such a cowpunk legend a few years down the track!

4.Current Playlist

Most of our musical heroes are either dead or dying, but I’ve seen a few killer gigs of late – Dave Rawlings Machine and Jason Isbell being the most recent. Anything Willy Vlautin does I thoroughly recommend, whether it be his bands Richmond Fontaine and The Delines or one of his novels – such a brilliant writer.

5.Your Ultimate Rider

We’re pretty easy to please, just the usual slab of cold beer and a bottle of Drambuie for KD Twang – purely for medicinal purposes. Dirt Track Daisy and myself love a good strong cup of tea, so we usually demand an electric jug and a few teabags if we’re feeling outrageous.
