FIVE-piece Noosa Shire-based band The Claptomaniacs will make their debut performance at Cooroy RSL on Saturday 12 November.
If you have fond memories of UK and US music from the likes of Eric Clapton, Steely Dan, Joe Cocker, as well as classic material from the Doobie Brothers, the Rolling Stones and more, this show is for you.
The Claptomaniacs have developed a top-drawer reputation across the Sunshine Coast for their high-quality covers, capturing the hearts of those who appreciate great musicianship, and are now heading to the RSL for the first time.
Known as one of the tightest sounds around, drummer and Lake Macdonald resident Alan Lander said the band avoids covering songs which are played to death on the radio and focuses on well-known numbers people have been missing.
Claptomaniacs also features Cooroy resident Kenny Gamble on lead vocals, who has the gifted ability to handle Clapton, Cocker and Jagger among many others.
“We are looking forward to playing the RSL – we haven’t played in Cooroy since our appearance at Cooroy Fusion Festival last May.
“Hopefully we will see a few Fusion faces there,” Alan said.
The RSL will of course be laying on great food and bar service, and entry is free making this one for the calender on Saturday 12 November, at 7pm.
