Album Info

Release Date: 2009

Label: Handsome Devil Records

Debut releaseThe Sunburys are a gutsy soul-rock three-piece from Brisbane, Australia.
Deft songsmiths and energetic performers, The Sunburys are a band of craft and character, ranking substance over style and integrity over celebrity. They draw from diverse musical influences to create engaging pub rock for thinking people - teaming timeless rock, blues, soul and alt.country riffs with thoughtful arrangements, raw storytelling and inspired, punchy irreverence.
As their name (referencing the legendary music festival) suggests, The Sunburys sound evokes oldschool musical tribes, from 40 years of British rock, American legends (Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Wilco) to great Australian songwriters like Tim Rogers, Paul Kelly, and Stevie Wright.
The band features Anthony Dettori (guitar, vocals), Scott Lapthorne (drums, percussion), Derek Haas (bass, backing vocals), and the occasional celebrity import. They have released 4 studio albums since 2009 (‘Here Comes the Sunburys’, ‘Swings & Roundabouts’, ‘Keep a Lid on It’ and ‘Too Much Water’ (2016)
