Formed in 1997 the Busymen have been spellbinding audiences with their singular take on 60s punk and rock & roll. They combine beat, proto-punk, blues and feedback and you can dance to it. The band cut their teeth in Brisbane's gutter rock scene of the late 90s which included bands like Strutter, Big Bongin Baby, the Hekawis, Standing 8 Counts and the Cool Millions.
The stage presence of unique vocal stylist "Boston" Bob Smith (maracas, tambourine, kung fu) is often cited as the key element to the Busymen's live reputation. Yes they are better live, but even better if they show up.
