The Detonators were formed in Melbourne way back in August 1997. That’s 29 years plus of bar room blues this year. The hard working quartet have never been afraid to hit the road, haul some kilometres and rack up a heap of gigs. They believe they have easily done more than 3000 gigs since they first formed. The Detonators 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 gigging and touring over vast distances through the years both in Australia and overseas has seen them become crowned kings of Australian roots rock n roll. 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 band features bespectacled Rockbottom James 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. There are six Cd’s in their arsenal and the new edition of a full colour hard cover book called “Faded Out Glory Boys” has been written about the bands exploits over 28 years which is available for sale until stocks run out. Three members of the band, James, Dave and Paul have been selected and written about in Pauline Bailey’s “Portrait of The Blues” books due to their longevity and contribution to the Australian Blues scene. In early January 2020 The Detonators were selected to support Australian legends Cold Chisel at A Day on the Green in the Yarra Valley in Victoria and at A Day by the Sea on the beach in Glenelg South Australia. Both massive sold out outdoor shows. The Detonators are always on rotation on radio, Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube etc, and have had their music on the local film Charlie and Boots as well as the Australian Crime TV series Underbelly. Thunder Road Brewing have used their songs in radio ads, and top rated American TV series De Grassi High also uses Detonators music. Dancing shoes, listening ears and drinking arms are compulsory for any good time Detonators show, because you never know what the loose unit Rockbottom James is going to do or say next! The only way to find out is to turn up!
