On Friday 28 July the Imperial Hotel in Eumundi will be rockin’ with female-fronted Alt-rock band Dallas Frasca.
They’ll be supported by Hobo Magic and Los Laws.
The band is coming off the back of a mega last 12 months.
Two European tours, including supports with Ugly Kid Joe (US) and The Bellrays (US), two national tours and launching their own record label Spank Betty Records and releasing an album and an EP.
And they recently hit the incredible 900 gig mark in 11 years since the band was founded.
Dallas Frasca is a band and not just named after the lead singer.
Like Blondie and PJ Harvey that came before them, it is clear that namesake front woman Dallas and guitarist Jeff Curran (Eumundi’s own) are the driving force of the Melbourne-based trio, in which other members rotate.
The unconventional songwriters are two guitars, vocals and a beast behind the kit.
They fit somewhere in between blues riffed The Black Keys and the incredible full-throated wail of Janis Joplin.
Having no bass, the drums are integral to the sonic massive-ness that fits in-between the mechanical style riffs.
Their songs are catchy, huge and the truth can be felt in their tales.
Winners of Triple J’s Light Your Fuse, their album Love Army hit the Top 30 ARIA Charts in Australia in 2015.
Their song Success is the Best Revenge from the 2015 release, was the theme song as the worldwide sync on the popular TV show Bondi Ink.
A collaboration with Ugly Kid Joe was released on the Californian band’s latest album Uglier Than They Used To Be that hit number 10 on the BBC charts in the UK.
Pre-sale tickets are $15 plus booking fee through Oztix or from the Imperial Hotel on 5442 8811, or $18 at the door.
Doors open at 7.30pm.
