The Rudies are back

Put Saturday 9 April in your diary for a night of beefy horn lines, jumping grooves and classic ska with The Sunny Coast Rude Boys. 

Prepare yourself for a night of old school dance and good times.

The Sunny Coast Rude Boys are a 10-piece soundwave sensation, playing uplifting ska and reggae, and drawing on musical influences that have shaped this genre from the Jamaican movement through to UK Two Tone.   

The Rudies demonstrate a unique vision with the exuberance and freewheeling colour of contemporary ska and have crafted their sound with unexpected arrangements and seductive harmonies, powerful horns and foot-stomping drums.   

They have shared the stage with Bad Manners, Nicky Bomba, Strange Tenants, The Original Wailers as well as headlining at Island Vibe Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, Caloundra Music Festival, and the Queensland Ska and Reggae Festival.  

If you dig The Specials, Madness, The Beat, UB40, Toots and The Maytals, and you love to dance, this is a gig for you.  

Doors open at 7.30pm at this 18-plus event.

Tickets: $25 (+booking fee) through Oztix.
