The Vagrants back on the road again!!!

About Me

The Vagrants got their name from the obvious, life on the road with no home. Happier on the road, they have been gigging constantly in separate projects and have all come together as one on stage to launch the Vagrants.Getting compared to Black Crowes, Baby Animals, The Rolling Stones and ACDC says a lot about how hard it is to categorize the music. With thier first EP and video released in December 2005, they have now recorded there debut album that was first released overseas and in Australia in 2006. In 2006, The Vagrants toured the USA, Denmark, Germany and Netherlands, then in 2007 once again toured Europe. This year, they are booked for their 3rd European tour covering Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Netherlands and Denmark. They will also be headlining the Aussie stage at the European Music Convention 'Popkomm' held in Berlin. They are fun, rockin, energetic and professional. On stage there are no lies...
