The Currency are born of a proud lineage of convicts, bushrangers, stowaways and scoundrels.
Combining punk rock and roll with celtic folk, these lads and lasses take up where legendary bands like 'Weddings Parties Anything' and 'Midnight Oil' left off by reviving the colonial folk ballad tradition. It's a rollicking six piece orchestra that combines folk instruments with a fire cracker punk rhythm section boasting ex Living End drummer Travis Demsey. Fiddle, accordion, tin whistle, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar play a mix of of jigs and reels, waltzes, oz rock and punk that keeps the crowd dancing like crazy dingoes.
Haha! I just realised Friday was a year since I first saw you guys live with the Dropkick Murphys. Man the years are going fast these days. Oh and that 888 Cafe in Sydney is in Darling Harbour apparently.
That was FUCKING AWESOME!!! I swear you're better every time I see you, and you were awesome the first time. Thanks for signing the poster guys. See y'all next time. Good luck with the fabled album.
