Australia's original female fronted AC/DC tribute band. Formed in 2007, Melbourne based and as authentic as it comes.

AC/DShe has been around now for nearly 15 years and pull good crowds when we play.
We are a little bit different to the other AC/DC tribute shows, mainly due to the fact we have a female singer, and we don’t do the Angus school boy uniform either, we have found that the only guitarists that are willing to wear it are not up to scratch with their playing ability.
So, for us, because we are all AC/DC fans in the band, we would rather have the band musically authentic than have someone on stage feeling uncomfortable in a school boy uniform.
We know that if we were to pay and go see this band, it wouldn’t matter if the visual part of the uniform was to be there, for us it’s about the music.
The band is a very good band and musically is pretty authentic, plus another thing that we have that the other AC/DC bands don’t have is the right rhythm section which is important for any AC/DC fan out there.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of suburbia we find a group of layabouts. In their natural habitat music is created that the local council will refer to as a "noise violation". They soldier on. LongBoys, comprising of five members, Sam Craine (vocals/guitar), Sam Power (vocals/guitar/keys), Ayrton Ganas (guitar), Jack Hetherington (bass) and John Gore (drums), are sweeping the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Taking inspiration from different genres and acts such as Mac Demarco and The Doors, the band collaborates to create all of their songs. From this, they are able to bring in different kinds of genre aspects to their music and create some smooth surf sounds. Beginning in 2017 they have morphed in multiple forms, from the maturing of their musical sound seen in their first EP “Scenes” to their most recent “Clockwork” which came out in March 2020; to selling out shows across Melbourne and interstate at venues such as Rad Bar, Yah Yah’s and even backyard-festivals.

without a doubt one of the bands playing music in the world today

Deborah Conway is a significant and eloquent contributor to Australian music, singing songs that chronicle the essential elements of life, love, loss, memory, the mundane and the spiritual. Restless and confounding, her powerful voice and presence has fascinated audiences for the past 30 years. A rare female agitator in a time when the music industry was male dominated; Conway continues to be a role model for young women and a mentor to emerging artists.

From the moment her band, Do Re Mi released the iconic Man Overboard, off their debut album Domestic Harmony in 1985, Conway has always followed her own path. The song was radically different to radio playlists, a rant on gender politics and without a chorus, yet it sat at the top of the charts and introduced her as a compelling force.

Willy’s first recorded appearance was with his band Tootieville on the Cooking With George Mark Too compilation record, released by radio station Triple J in 1985, though he had been spotted haunting Melbourne’s live music venues long before that. Tootieville followed this up with an album entitled Basic in 1990 that was The Age’s Green Guide album of the year.

He first appears in the Deborah Conway story (officially) on the credits of the Release Me single as co-performer of the live version of Will You Miss Me When You’re Sober.

Willy came into the limelight proper with the release of Bitch Epic in 1993. He co-wrote the record with Deborah & co-produced. The notes for the album simply say “thanks especially to Willy for always getting me across the bridge”.
