Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of one of Melbourne's finest original rock’n’roll, blues and r&b band The Detonators! “We wouldn’t have thought after our first gig at The Swan Hotel in Richmond Vic on August 16th, 1997, that we’d still be firing some 25 years later. On that gig which went from 11pm to 2am we played 3 sets including some original songs which truly set the future ball rolling. We played The Swan for the next few Saturday nights until they decided to discount our already small pay, so we quit our first residency and went out looking for more work. After that incident we have never looked back. We estimate about 3000 gigs since we’ve been going, pubs, festivals, clubs, weddings, birthdays, a funeral, car shows, the lot.

We’ve toured Sydney more times than we can remember, same as Adelaide and Brisbane where we have established strong enduring friendships that remain until this day. We’ve played Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Geelong, Perth, Geraldton as well...
