House of Blues - Tues Jan 21st

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: THE DETONATORS 

THE DETONATORS were formed in Melbourne way back in August 1997 – that’s 28 years of bar room blues this year. The hard working quartet have never been afraid to hit the road, haul some kilometres and rack up a heap of gigs. They believe they have easily done more than 3000 gigs since they first formed, are a hugely popular returning feature act at MBAS House of Blues, and a fitting opener to the MBAS return for the New Year! The band are still in celebration mode after guitarist PAULIE BIGNELL was recently voted “People’s Choice Blues Legend Award” at the 2024 Blues Music Victoria Awards, so we’re ready to party on with them! 

Their original music, to which all members contribute, is best described as a lethal combination of early blues with a sprinkling of rockabilly and early rock n roll thrown in. The band features bespectacled ROCKBOTTOM JAMES on vocals and electric harmonica, PAULIE BIGNELL on hollow body guitar, DOGHOUSE DAVE on slapping double bass with EDDIE FURY on sticks and skins duty.
