A transatlantic tribute

The Claptomaniacs.

There are many good cover bands around the Sunshine Coast.

But there’s only one that focuses on UK and US hits from the ’70s and ’80s – classic songs not overplayed on hits and memories radio – and that’s Noosa’s very own five-piece, tight-sound band The Claptomaniacs.

If material from the likes of Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Steve Miller Band, Travelling Wilburys, Joe Cocker, Rolling Stones, Hollies, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel and many more hit your soft spot, then head down to Tewantin Noosa RSL on Saturday 1 July at 8pm – and remember to put your dancing shoes on.

It’s not that they don’t like Aussie music – it’s just there’s so many others already doing it – and good on ’em.

The RSL Bistro serves up a good meal and can get very busy when The Claptomaniacs play – so best to make a table booking, on 5447 1766.
