The Roaring Forties (Recording E.P Soon)

About Me

Three puberty riddled "he-bitches" (and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's dairy) with the average age of 16 havin' some fun just jammin all day and dedicated to makin' good original music. Housed by "The Shack", these young, witty and bloody good looking fellows are more than ready to run off in search of.. um .. good shit. Friends from the good ol days finally comin together musically for some toe tappin,whiskey swillin fun.Their first gig crept up on them in the form of the 2006 Battle Of The Bands and despite the fact they were shivering in their tiny 'first gig' totties, they were fortunate enough to be placed 1st. From playing shows and having a great time these little underdogs took out the 2006 WAMI Award for Most Popular South-West Act along with supporting gigs with Youth Group (twice), 67 Special (twice), The Vasco Era, Custom Kings, The Gingers, Legends of Motor Sport, Modular Lounge, The Getaway Plan and The 80 Aces. You will be snorting cream puffs off their chests in no time.
