The ’Rudies’ are back

Put Saturday 14 August in your diary for a night of beefy horn lines, jumping grooves and classic ska with The Sunny Coast Rude Boys at Imperial Hotel Eumundi.

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 on Saturday 14 August at Imperial Hotel Eumundi.

TICKETS: Pre-sale $25 (plus booking fee) through Oztix. Pre-sale tickets only (no door sales). To comply with Covid-safe practices, tickets are strictly limited. This is an 18-plus event.
