Adam Hall and The Velvet Playboys
The music captures a mood reminiscent of the Rat Pack or Louis Prima in Las Vegas in the 50s - smooth swingin' jazz, rockin' blues and good ol' boogie woogie. Their repertoire also features more contemporary music in a vein similar to artists as diverse as James Brown, Ray Charles & Harry Connick Jr.

The Rough Housers
Formed over nine beers and a mutual love of all things rockabilly; country licks, standing up, thumping bass, slapback vocals and songs about cars and girls, the three chaps who form the powerhouse backbone of erstwhile Perth pop rock band Murphy's Lore decided that their time was NOW.
Rockabilly music, if it needs to be pigeonholed (and it really doesn't, however), is a country and rock and roll crossover that defined the late 50's and brought stardom to Elvis, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash amongst many others. While the Stray Cats and other noted revival artists have added a distinctly punk ethos to the rockabilly epithet, no one can deny the raw energy and pure fun delivered by swingin' rockabilly tunes. Kieran "Bernie" Murphy, the drummer and previously silent 'other' Murphy brother took the mic because no-one else would and much to his surprise, it wasn't awful. Some people even went so far as to say it was "good". Picking up on the energy of Andy Sturmer and Slim Jim Phantom, Kieran decided that playing, singing and standing up could all be achieved simultaneously. His favourite rockabilly tune is 40 Days by Ronnie Hawkins.
Shaun "42nd" Street had spent some considerable time on the electrified bass, before receiving his degree and graduating to its taller cousin, the upright double bass and began making one hell of a racket. His favourite track is Lonnie Donegan's immortal version of the old classic Rock Island Line. Jason Jay Eddy Smith came armed with a Gretsch White Falcon, a 1957 National lap steel, a background in pure country twang and a whole mess of attitude. Taking lead vocals on a couple of tunes from his idols, Johnny Cash and Junior Brown, Jase is the virtuoso that every boy wants to be, and the guitar hero every girl wants to get close to. Sorry ladies, he's taken.

Playing a new kind of Fusion, Blues, Rock best described as "BLUES FUSION" or "BLUE METAL", these guys are passionately committed to bringing their unique brand of art and entertainment to mainstream and independent audiences alike. The three-piece outfit features Michael Vdelli (Guitar/Vocals), Ric Whittle (Drums), Troy Gennoe (Bass).
After emerging onto the Perth live circuit 10 years ago, they attracted a strong and loyal following in the pub scene since, then overseas opportunities began to arise. VDELLI were quickly identified by the Europeans as bona fide talent and gained overwhelmingly positive reviews in the print media, on radio and on university television. The unanimous approval of the music fans was further reinforced with a series of number one and top ten hits on Europe based Internet radio.
