Mama Red & the Dark Blues are back to break the drought. After a short hiatus, the band are back in the saddle and looking to rock the stage with some big, bolshy, power protest music. They’ll take you on a wild ride through their recently released conscious concept album, Long Way to Redemption, and throw in a few faves from the first album and some stellar covers just for fun.

Described as ‘Alt-Folk with a hint of blues’, but messing with genres, gender stereotypes and refusing to be stylistically confined, the band’s eclecticism and originality is part of its charm. In true Dark Blues form, the tunes are heavy with heart-wrenching harmony, moving fearlessly across genres, but woven together seamlessly through lyrical narrative and some dark Australian Gothic storytelling.

Featuring Harry Deluxe, a lead vocalist who can simply blow the speakers, and combining a posse of the State’s most talented musicians with some seriously sexy harmonies, Mama Red & The Dark Blues deserve your undivided attention. And beware… if you don’t give it, you may have it taken by force.
