This week’s Feature Album comes from a band from Alice Springs that blending folk, country, and rock in original and re-interpretations of their favourite songs Honkytonk Disco. They have been playing together for three years in Central Australia and this is their first EP, “Lonesome Desert Hound”.
Honkytonk Disco is a straight-shooting country band from Mparntwe (Alice Springs), playing the kind of music that makes you wanna move! Whether it’s toe-tappen, boot-scootin, or a full-blown singalong. With a sound ranging from spaghetti western to honky tonk rock bangers, they bring tight harmonies, and the kind of energy that keeps a crowd dancing. Their music is upbeat with a high energy and the lyrics capture the unique landscapes and characters of Central Australia.
If you’re into music that has real heart, the Honky crew deliver a sonic landscape where raw energy meets dreamy, otherworldly twang. So dust off your dancin’ boots, throw on your cowboy hat, and come on down for a hell of a hootenanny!
