"THE IRWINS": Mixing New-Wave cool and anthemic punk with old school 60s trash charm, The Irwins are a new breed. A glorious, romantic nerd cult. A confused, fearless army of mod boys who want to save the earth. Like a leather messiah they’ll rise out of the sparkly dust and run free and clear through the ubiquity of Rock n’ Roll. And because Ross cannot tell apart imagination and real life, they will take the mania that transcends melodic nature and run it deep into the mud of the land, and what will emerge will be bright, joyful and dangerous. An unrestrained, Pete Townsend state of mind and being, that will spread euphoria through all who touch it. Blessed with animal grace, they’ll set your love on fire. The Irwins.
This Melbourne six piece have laid low in the shadows. Their brief appearances in the Australian and UK indie scenes were just explosive, melodious peeks at what is to come. Get ready for The Irwin Revolution.
"THE ROSS IRWIN SOUL SPECIAL": Rock with Soul. Soul with grit. Riffs with dirt, and wierd, obscure covers that confuse and entertain. The Soul Special is a 10 piece Rock/Soul outfit from Melbourne, Australia. Made up of a mix of Melbourne's finest trash soul and 60s psychodelia players, this band is a late night party tour de force. So forget Boggle with your cousins, come drink whisky n' Shake hips.
