Travel from the heart of the central desert to the bright lights of the big smoke in an epic rock ‘n’ roll theatre show. Before King Stingray, before the mighty Yothu Yindi, there was Warumpi Band. The band that took Aboriginal culture to the world.
Big Name, No Blankets celebrates the phenomenal journey and impact of Sammy Tjapanangka Butcher and his brothers, the founding members of this iconic Australian band. Making history as the first rock ’n’ roll band to sing in Aboriginal languages, they took anthems including ‘Blackfella/Whitefella’, ‘My Island Home’ and ‘Jailanguru Pakarnu’ from Central Australia to wild nights in the pub rock scene. They toured the world, bringing their potent politics and prolific guitar riffs to a global audience. Stomp your feet, clap your hands and get swept away by a show that truly rocks.
