Taste the jam, go bananas – the Backroom Banana Jam is The Northern’s brand new original live music series and this Friday the series will be launched by Royal Ratbags, Colbey and Drover.
Who couldn’t love Mullumbimby’s all female post-punkers Royal Ratbags? This lil’ axis of awesome will headline the Backroom Banana Jam weekend with surf-twang storytelling journeyman Colbey, and alternative country outfit Drover.
The Ratbags are somewhat of a local supergroup consisting of members of Gimmy (Gimmy bass and Barclay drums) and Pasiflorez (Nic lead guitar/keys) plus lead singer Alli, and Grace (rhythm guitar/keys).
Royal Ratbags are about to release their grinding, infectious punk onto the streaming world with their first single due to drop sometime before Christmas, which will then lead to the release of their debut EP sometime mid-next-year.
Get ready because these rats are in your face!
Rock and roll, sweaty guitars, and whole lot of jam. Don’t miss it!
This free entry event is on at The Northern, Byron Bay, on Friday from 9pm.
