The Detonators were formed way back in August 1997.  Always based in Melbourne Australia this popular hard working quartet have never been afraid to hit the road, haul some kilometres and rack up a heap of gigs. With a finely honed array of original songs and a stage show that only comes from years of gigging pubs, clubs and festivals, The Detonators through their relentless gigging and touring both here and overseas have seen them become crowned kings of Australian roots rock n roll. Their original music, to which all members contribute, is best described as a lethal combination of blues, rockabilly and early rock n roll.

The band features bespectacled Rockbottom James on vocals and electric harmonica, Paulie Bignell on hollow body guitar, Doghouse Dave on slapping double bass with Craig Hadlow on sticks and skins duty. With six Cd's in their arsenal The Detonators have recently had their music on the film "Charlie and Boots" as well as the Australian TV series Underbelly and American TV series De Grassi High. Dancing shoes, listening ears and drinking arms are compulsory for any good time Detonators show, because you never know what Rockbottom James is going to do next!

The new CD "Monster in a Box is available from their website and available for download on iTunes and most other music sites.
