| About The Detonators |
Have you seen this guitar? Paulie the Kid would really like it back.
Before Rock, there was Rockabilly, Blues and Rhythm n’ Blues. The Detonators, through their original songs, reinvent the styles that made the mid to late 50s such a vital time in music’s history. They play an era, not simply a genre.
Australia's leading roots rockers release their fourth album/fifth release Top Night Out August 2007. The quartet’s original blend of blazing jump-rock blues is infused with the driving energy inherent in their heros’ music. Chuck Berry, Little Walter and Hound Dog Taylor are some of the influences that give this band their distinguished sound.
Guitarist Paulie “The Kid” Bignell says playing authentically in such a stylistic manner is demanding. “With this style of music, even the tiniest mistake is really obvious. To come across well we have to play with exceptional precision; it’s not as easy as it sounds,” he says.
Although their music is inspired by the 1950s era, Bignell argues that the songs have never been more relevant. “We sing about our experiences today,” Bignell says.
“ The Detonators’ blazing jump-rock tunes are as slick as their teddy-boy quiffs ” - mX Newspaper.
