House of Blues - Jam Night

Tuesday 16th August 2022

Feature act: THE DETONATORS – 25th ANNIV SHOW

THE DETONATORS celebrate the 25th anniversary of their very first gig on this exact day in August 1997! Book in early to come join in the party atmosphere for a top night out at MBAS with one of Melbourne's most loved, longstanding, crowd-pleasing blues-roots acts!

This enduring 4-piece features bespectacled Rockbottom James out front on vocals and electric harmonica, Paulie Bignell on hollow body guitar, Doghouse Dave on slapping double bass with Eddie Fury on sticks and skins duty. Their original music, to which all members contribute, is best described as a lethal combination of early blues with a sprinkling of rockabilly and early rock 'n' roll thrown in. The "Dets" have a finely honed array of original songs and a stage show that only comes from years of gigging pubs, clubs and festivals. Their relentless touring over vast distances through the years, both in Australia and overseas, has seen them become crowned kings of Australian roots rock 'n' roll.
