   About The Currency
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.
