Marcus Wynwood’s Top 4 Tassie Bands

The Bad Dad Orchestra https://www.instagram.com/thebaddadorchestra/

9 dads who have come together to create a soul rock juggernaut. Their basic premise is a big band, big grooves, and you’ve gotta be a dad to join. Think James Brown, The Commitments and Wilson Pickett. They are a much-loved part of the Tassie music scene and 9 of the nicest blokes you’ll meet.

Golden Sunbird https://www.instagram.com/golden_sunbird/

Cosmic Psych-Rock from Outer Space - everyone’s favourite space-themed psychedelic alien-invaded band. Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, kaleidoscope drone-inspired grooves.

Swords Bros. https://www.instagram.com/swords_bros/

Five dudes from the North-West Coast of Tassie pushing the boundaries of the nostalgic golden era of pop-punk. These guys are fun - clever lyrics and catchy hooks and a rowdy loud live show. They’ve recently supported Bodyjar, Sly Withers, and well worth checking out if you get the chance.
