The band is classic, good-time Antipodean rock.
Think Jet, Grinspoon, Living End, Spiderbait, Bernard Fanning, Rose Tattoo, Daddy Cool, Hunters and Collectors, The Vines, John Butler Trio, Paul Kelly, InXS, Jimmy Barnes, The Angels, Men at Work, Dave Dobbin, Cold Chisel, Crowded House, Exponents, Midnight Oil - and you're just starting to get an idea.The Bondis also play all the party classics: Arctic Monkeys, The Zutons, Razorlight, U2, AC/DC, The Strokes, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kaiser Chiefs.
The band is fronted by legendary guitarist/vocalist Tim Barton, drummer/vocalist Craig Holder and bass player/vocalist Tom 'Dubbo' Farncombe.
If you want to know what else they do - great vocal harmonies and mad stuff - ask their crowds! Or better still, go and see them - live!
