We arrived in Melb Friday evening for a weekend of fun, (Dancing that is) Jump"n "Jive @ Northside, Frid, The Dets @ Monash, Sat & a band we'd never heard of "Stringbusters"on Sun, our thoughts were, maybe lots of Brass, harmonica, keyboard,or some other instruments, other than strings.
We where way out of whack!
Upon arrival, the little St Kilda Bowling club was vibrating to the sound of the Double bass,Drums & Guitars of this little known new band.The R & R was impeccable and the Rockabilly was fabulous, we just loved it, might I add, all very danceable.
During a break, we decided to get to the bottom of the name,after talking to one of the bands members, it was concluded that, during practice sessions lot's of strings got broken,hence the bands name.
The St Kilda bowling club venue is an original 50s type of place, with a medium sized rather fast dance floor, not a lot of atmosphere, but if your into dancing its great.
Stringbusters are new on the block, well and truly worth a visit.
