Snap Scene: Tex Perkins & The Fat Rubber Band, Under the Stars, Packer Park Carnegie, 25th Feb 2024 by Mary Boukouvalas

Master rock-n-roll storyteller Tex Perkins brings his thrilling new incarnation the Fat Rubber Band to Glen Eira for Under the Stars.

A collision of electric and acoustic guitar, congas, bouzoukis, and percussive flourishes are elevated by upfront vocals and raw harmonies. The band brings its unique blend of electric country swamp rock blues to Packer Park in Carnegie this February.

Throughout his four-decade career, Perkins has continued to push the boundaries of traditional music forms, from hard rock and heavy noise to country folk balladry and blues grooves. All with his unmistakable baritone and sly sense of humour.
