Bio
.. Born of a proud lineage of convicts, bushrangers, stowaways and scoundrels THE CURRENCY form a six-piece orchestra parading traditional folk instruments alongside a firecracker punk rhythm section. Fiddle, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar play a mix of jigs, sea shanties, oz rock and punk anthems that keep the crowd dancing like wild dingoes. LIVE SHOWS THE CURRENCY pride themselves on putting on a good show, always picking great venues and original bands to play with. They have sold out full capacity at the EAST BRUNSWICK CLUB and NORTHCOTE SOCIAL CLUB doing their own headliner shows. THE CURRENCY have travelled the East Coast a number of times. They have shared the stage with American punk rockers ANTI-FLAG, joined US Celtic punk legends FLOGGING MOLLY for two Guinness soaked nights at the Corner Hotel, supported Boston heavyweights DROPKICK MURPHYS, and even opened for our own folk-rock legends WEDDINGS PARTIES ANYTHING. They are experienced at Festival shows too having played PYRAMID, PORT FAIRY, The ST KILDA FESTIVAL, HIGH VIBES, SYDNEY ROAD, MOOMBA, QUEENSCLIFF, the MALDON FOLK FESTIVAL and others. The band loves to get amongst it all and see other acts and towns. DEBUT ALBUM In amongst playing heaps of live shows the band also found time to record an album with producer RICHARD STOLZ at Sing Sing in 2008/09. Whether it was the runaway bolters or celtic ballads Richard was able to catch the acoustic tones of the instruments alongside the lively energy of the group. The songs tell stories of days both past and present and are driven home by JUSTIN MOORE's unmistakably Austral- ian vocal style. The self titled album is released on the bands own label HAUL AWAY and the CD is distributed by POISON CITY RECORDS in Australia, it also has a Japanese release on UNCLE OWEN records and it is digitally available online from I-TUNES as well. The band are currently working on follow up material incorporating celtic banjo and piano accordion into the brew. .......... .. .. ..

Just missed your IM: big ol' hailstorm up here, was just watching the skies light up all silver blue, awesome stuff, moths dodging the hailstorms. Hope this finds you well, hearties. I was trawling Newtown and Leichhardt et al. today looking for another button accordion, Veruska most keen for me to buy a very gorgeous Cajun number (key of C those ones) but nah, I want to keep it Irish for now. And that bloke on Russell Street in Gotham ... he's never bloody open! Lightning really close now, War of The Worlds stuff ...

Certainly don't miss those interband niceties. Battle of Brisbane, ay? Could do worse. Listen chaps/chapattis, if you know of a fair dinkum bodhran player (anywhere in the country) who might be interested in a musical project (not band) can you let me know. Slow burning like a campfire stove, this one, and not a 'band'. Good to hear you've got the Currency out and playing again. All the best and special XO sauce hotlove to Mark, Alice & Co. & even Raunchy Stainsby.

Great show tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Didn't think there'd be a song capable of knocking "Anchor & Crown" off it's perch as my favorite song of yours but "Battle of Brisbane" has just lapped it. Might even be worth a trip to Maldoon next weekend just to hear it again! See ya when I'm lookin' at ya!
