Ten Cent Shooters
2021-03-21 16:00 - 19:00
Live Music Australia – an Australian Government initiative
FREE ENTRY
The Ten Cent Shooters is a Western Australian three-piece acoustic blues band, playing in a style based on country blues, a genre which combines traditional European styles and instruments with African-American derived rhythms and songs.
Country blues was amongst the first vernacular music recorded, as the recording technology became widely available in the USA in the 1920s. These first recordings, rediscovered and made popular amongst folk music enthusiasts in the 1960s, are a window into a world of work songs, love songs, ballads, spirituals and dance music played in community settings before radio and records changed the culture.
The band tries to remain faithful to the style of the early blues players but also has a unique sound which is popular with people of all ages and backgrounds as evidenced by strong CD sales, airplay on ABC and public radio, and great crowd response at live shows. The Shooters always talk a lot about the history and personalities of the early blues and can play quiet and intimate acoustic concert sets in small venues. Their presentation of this American music is very Australian. They can also play large dance stages and really get people moving. Legendary Australian bluesman Phil Manning at a WA festival described the band as “the most powerful acoustic band I’ve ever heard”.

The genre-defying Steve Hensby Band are heavy on the horns and very danceable!
2020 has seen the release of their third album ‘Modern Music For Modern People’ to rave reviews, both national (Triple J) and international radio play, and busy dance floors at live shows.

Their well-received self-titled double album debut (2017) featured folk and world influences fused to make a gypsy/circus style album. ‘Wake Up In Bordeaux’ made it to the Top 20 WA songs of 2017. For 2019’s follow up, ‘Chase the Sun’, they drew from soul/funk/world music and added a slamming five-piece horn section. The title track is a collaboration with MC Optamus from WA hip hop legends, Downsyde.

Steve Hensby is a Berklee College of Music graduate and WAMI nominated musician who also works as a session player in the Perth area. He has played with the likes of Tim Minchin, Steve Poltz, WASO, Perth Symphony Orchestra and Taasha Cootes.

Reviews

“The songs here (Modern Music For Modern People) were so good, I didn’t feel the need to follow the story too closely. The sound and mix also can’t be faulted: every musical instrument finds a perfect spot and sticks around only as long as needed. My hat’s off to the scope and variety of both this band and their excellent new release.” (Divide & Conquer)

It’s the end of the world and what does Steve Hensby do about it? He makes a record of course. Modern Music For Modern People is a concept album that takes humanity’s dire circumstances — incompetent politicians, the insidious Internet, climate change, the whole shebang — and turns them into a glittering musical journey that sidesteps all the doom and gloom, delivering track after track of aural goodness. If we’re all going to die, we may as well have a good time while we’re on the way out. (Andrew Thompson, Around The Sound)

“From the get-go this funk tune puts me in the best mood. Whimsical and cheeky, this tune just oozes good times and boogie nights.” (Nkechi Anele, Triple J)

“This sounds like heaps of fun – a band really in sync with each other! And hard to deny that beat.” (Steph Hughes, Triple J)

“Steve Hensby is a decidedly less evil Will Wonka 9/10” (Xpress magazine)

“‘Chase The Sun’ is an exceptional album. Highly recommended” (Divide and Conquer)

“It’s much more than just a collection of songs, it’s a story, a trip into the depths of the imagination and absolutely brilliant.’ (Dave Anger 2mcr 100.3 fm.)

“It’s Freddie Mercury meets Jim Jefferies” (Barman in Hackney)

“There is certainly a huge amount of variety here, showcasing the talents of this prolific songwriter and excellent vocalist. It goes to show how much talent we have here in Perth.” (Menu Magazine)

“With an energetic live act, this band shows off its style of classic rockabilly mixed with swing, rare vocals, catchy ballads and even some Mexican influences.” – Rootscd.com

Rastrick toured Australia with his solo show last year. In the trio, David Rastrick (aka Dave Rastrix) fronts the group on vocals, trumpet and flugelhorn, while concurrently underpinning the sound with fretless bass. The flugelhorn is a type of trumpet with a warmer tone, and made popular by trumpeters such as Chuck Mangione and Hugh Masekela.
“I enjoy diversity in my life,” said Dave Rastrick. “I like manifesting this in my music, and draw from a heap of different musical styles to make an interesting repertoire.”

Kevin McDonald is one of the most in demand musicians in the south west, with his command of guitar and bass in all jazz and contemporary styles and a diploma in classical guitar. Kevin studied at the prestigious Berklee School of Music along with fellow Canadian musician Diana Krall. Kevin plays in about one-hundred duos, several jazz bands, country, rock and soul bands, and fronts his own guitar-frenzy surf music band ‘The Frothers’.

It’s dance-able, from-the-heart, gentlemanly, cheeky, lyrical, last-drinks-dub-freestyle. It’s simple, intense and pure: well worth a look! It’s a tiny bit of what Broome music sounds like today.
