The Medicine Show @ Bucca Hotel

Top 30 charting band The Medicine Show will be performing at Bucca Hotel in support of their label signed world wide album launch in their only Australian live show. Sunday December 4, 2011 from 1pm.

Bucca, Queensland, Australia, November 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Top 30 charting band The Medicine Show will be performing at Bucca Hotel in support of their label signed world wide album launch in their only Australian live show.

Born and bred in Brisbane, Australia, The Medicine Show (comprised of front man, singer and guitarist Harry Gilbeys, bass player Scotty “Burnin’ Log” Dawkins and drummer Christian “Dog Boy” Puglisi), conjure images of a stomp through the swamp, complete with gaters and 12-guages, undulating rhythms and heavy, growling prose; a hybrid of traditional blues and folk formulae in a lyrical, contemporary context.

Gilbeys said “I’ve learned over time that I need music to live. It’s crap. Seriously, I would prefer it if I could simply be a tradesman and have that be my thing, but unless I am in a band and writing, I get physically sick. I need it as a creative outlet.”

The Medicine Show, who have recently been signed to the Valleyarm Digital record label, are indeed a force to be reckoned with, and the upcoming release of their first single (a cover of "Bad to the Bone," the very song used to underscore Arnie’s bad-a** bar-clobberin’ in Terminator 2: Judgment Day) is a fiery burst back into the Australian and International music scene.

As a supporting act for bands such as Wolfmother, Beasts of Bourbon and Nashville Pussy, The Medicine Show gained an enthusiastic fan base across several continents; however, their stance on their home turf remains comparatively smaller.

Each member has grown within vastly different environments. Gilbeys speaks of his time on the streets and his subsequent career as a Youth worker, both of which inspired him to create – largely as a means of distraction from the detrimental effects of, what is famously renowned as, draining and emotionally taxing work.

The music, however, is what brings the eclectic trio together – embracing a unique style that draws from the visceral, raw elements of blues, country and rockabilly music that rests on a classic folk and engaging lyrical sensibility.

So, tighten your boot straps. The Medicine Show are here to stay, and deliver a sound not easily forgotten.
