The Detonator's at The Lomond Hotel

The Detonators were formed in Melbourne way back in August 1997. This popular 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.
