MySpace a place for friends

Formed in September 2002 in Richmond the 3121. the Blue Swimmers are made up of skeezy stoners, social outcasts and starving artists.

Remember the good old days before heavy set, sweaty, bearded bouncers stood cross armed between you and fun? Well those days are NOT long gone. The Blue Swimmers live show brings back to life the intensity and passion of the good old punk rock days. With fans diving on stage and screaming into the mics with singer and bass player Trav Wonders, it’s no surprise that raucous crowds of music enthusiasts swarm to their gigs.
Since the launch of their debut album, Mechanics of the Machine, in June 2008, The Blue Swimmers live show has been a spectacle to say the least. Keep an eye out for when you can catch the new line up of live mayhem!

The Blue Swimmers have had a colossal year of ups and downs. After taking away the blue ribbon (and a measly $10,000) at the inaugural Last Band Standing competition in 2008, The Blue Swimmers had launched their debut album and were setting their sights high after receiving rave reviews.

"The Blue Swimmers are
three of the hardest
rocking mother fuckers
in the Melbourne music scene!"

But after the news that their legendary drummer, Juddy Roller had tragically passed away in February of 2009, the boys decided to take a breather. Losing Juddy meant losing one third of the heart, soul and brotherhood that is The Blue Swimmers. After six months of encouragement from fans, friends and family, the boys charged on. Committed to the music they love and preserving the memory of the late Juddy Roller, the Blue Swimmers are back for round two.

It’s not surprising that after a short break The Blue Swimmers are hurling themselves back into the scene with a series of must see, down right dirty, rock and roll shows.
With new drummer Scotty on board, it’s full steam ahead for the Blue Swimmers and they are set for a comeback of epic proportions! With a national tour in the mix and a series of local gigs, this is one show not to be overlooked!
