The Sunny Coast Rude Boys are back

Put Saturday 13 July in your diaries as the ‘Rudies’ (The Sunny Coast Rude Boys) are returning to The Imperial Hotel Eumundi to raise the roof.

The Sunny Coast Rude Boys are an eight piece soundwave 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 with band members from as far as Barbados, Trinidad, Ireland, Lebanon, and Australia.

The band has crafted their sound with unexpected arrangements and seductive harmonies, of powerful horns and foot-stomping drums.

The Rudies 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, QLD Ska & Reggae Festival, The Triffid and The Zoo (Brisbane).

If you dig The Specials, Madness, UB40, Bob Marley and Bad Manners… then this is a gig for you.

Doors open at 8pm and tickets are $15 at the Imperial Hotel (Ph: 5442 8811) or on Oztix.
