Overview

After nearly two years of general distraction and mid-life scheduling related hiatus, Canberra's 2nd favourite horn clad party band East Row Rabble are back in action! And they have a couple of new members.

East Row Rabble delivers a slick mix of funk, reggae, blues and soul with upbeat party horn lines that will get your booty shakin' and your feet shuffling. Addressing a mixture of world issues and daily curiosities, front man Ben Drysdale's songs explore the many, varied, and often conflicting elements of any situation with honesty, hope, a little cheekiness and a whole lotta groove.

A party band that was made for the festival scene, the Rabble has made waves at the National Folk Festival, St Albans Festival, and Kangaroo Valley Festival as well as BeerFest Canberra and a number of appearances at Enlighten Festival. They have supported Australian greats such as Tijuana Cartel, Art vs Science and Melbourne Ska Orchestra.

Get down to Smith's with your dancing shoes and your drinking buddies and raise the roof with the Rabble!
