on January 8 2010
Sydney band The Rumjacks have just released their 2nd EP entitled ‘Sound As A Pound’ and they are hitting the road for an East Coast tour throughout the month of February in celebration of this.
If ‘punk’ means “do it yourself”...
And ‘folk’ means “of the people”...
...then Australian band The Rumjacks can be said to play folk punk music.
Since their inception in late 2008, The Rumjacks have done and achieved a lot. They have played up and down the Australian East Coast numerous times. They have two EPs available, ‘Hung, Drawn & Portered’ and the brand new ‘Sound As A Pound’ which have both been released in Japan also to critical acclaim.
Their consistent drive and energy has scored them festival shows and support slots with overseas acts such as legendary punk bands UK Subs and Leftover Crack, also big Australian acts such as Magic Dirt, Regular John and The Fumes.
Tour dates are:
Thursday 4th – Rosies, Brisbane Friday 5th - Coolangatta Saturday 6th - Gold Coast Wednesday 10th – Oxford Tavern, Wollongong Friday 12th – Hamilton Station Hotel, Newcastle Saturday 13th – Repressed Records in-store, Newtown (afternoon show / all ages) Saturday 13th – The Sandringham Hotel, Newtown Friday 19th – The Lyrebird Hotel, Melbourne Saturday 20th – Missing Link Records in-store, Melbourne (afternoon show / all ages) Saturday 20th – The Birmingham Hotel, Fitzroy Friday 26th – The Gearins Hotel, Katoomba Saturday 27th – The Brisbane Hotel, Tasmania

I think the first time I did the Big Day Out we were sharing the stage with the Black Eyed Peas before they got massive we had a great time hanging out and the audiences were fantastic
