/mspmbCroftstown originated in late 1995 when guitarist /singer Christina Crofts decided to form her own band, which at the time she called 'Croftstown Traffic' - the then 3 peice band played many and various gigs in and around Sydney and scored appearances on the first Australian Blues Festival in Goulburn after being approached following a gig in a Goulburn pub.Christina asked guitarist hubby Steve Crofts to enlist following the break up of the band he was in (The Lancaster Bombers). They then recorded a 5 track demo CD and set about seeking further gigs and managed to land an appearance on the Great Southern Blues & Rockabilly Festival in 2000 and received some excellent reviews re this appearance.Sydney's music scene began to diminish around this time largely due to the introduction and fervor for poker machines in pubs and not to mention the amount of like minded musicians competing for gigs, however the band continued to do a handful of gigs over the recent years.Finally in late 2004 Steve & Christina decided to through caution to the wind and record a debut CD which has manifested itself in an awesome production and CD release of 'Unboogie' which features 6 originals and 4 covers .
