A country rock band from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
They specialise in playing country versions of rock songs
with the words slightly altered ("Middle Aged Dirtbag" is based
on the song "Teenage Dirtbag"). While this may sound lame, it
works really well as one of their best songs is a version
of a Nirvana tune Lithium.
I have their CD and EP that I bought from them at one of their
gigs but they are really a band who are at their best when
playing live. The most recent time I saw them was at the
Greyhound Hotel playing with Shonkytonk.
