Noosa’s own five-piece band The Claptomaniacs are heading for Tewantin’s Marina Bar at Noosa Marina for another Sunday session this weekend (December 8) from 4-7pm.

If you haven’t been to the Marina Bar since it was taken over earlier this year, it’s well worth doing so as it has become a prime venue for good music and atmosphere in Noosa.

“We really enjoy playing the Marina Bar,“ Claptomaniacs drummer Alan Lander said.

“The venue attracts a very eclectic audience, and with the open air flow down next to the water it’s a fantastic setting for a Sunday session, whether you just want to be laid-back, or enjoy a full-on dance.“

The Claptomaniacs have developed a reputation for their tight, authentic sound, covering the likes of Joe Cocker, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Boz Scaggs, Beatles, Travelling Wilburys, Creedence, Hollies, Billy Joel, and Huey Lewis.

“All our band members grew up with this musical era; it’s in our DNA,“ Alan said.

“So we want to honour playing the soundtrack of our lives and do the songs justice.“

Given the band is revered for its tightness, that justice is fully in evidence.

The Claptomaniacs will be at The Marina Bar, Noosa Marina, Tewantin on Sunday 8 December, 4pm to 7pm.
