Round Mountain Girls wrapped up 2016 supporting The Levellers in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and impressed them so much that they got an invite to this year’s Beautiful Days Festival. They opened 2017 with a new album, a national tour of their homeland and a main stage slot at Australia’s iconic Bluesfest (Byron Bay) sharing the stage with Santana, Jethro Tull, Buddy Guy and Zac Brown. They’ve been keeping some pretty heavyweight company recently and now they’re heading to the UK for the very first time, having bludgeoned their way to the top of the Australian festival scene. If Mumford and Sons, The Pogues and Metallica had a threeway lovechild it would be a Round Mountain Girl. With four albums behind them, and coined in the press as the ‘finest purveyors of Celtabillypunkfolkrootsgrass in the southern hemisphere’, they are capable of taking you to places you didn’t know existed. Fast and furious, tender and humourous, great playing, great songs. You’ll forget you’ve got a mortgage, forget your dog’s just died and that the ice caps are melting as you get carried along on the wave of euphoria they generate. FREE ENTRY Schedule 9:00pm – Round Mountain Girls

In the 3 years since the conception of Echo Town they’ve toured the UK playing festivals and venues including the support slots to Land of the Giants, Tankus the Henge and The Undercover Hippy plus filmed for the ‘Harbourside Sessions’ websites and appearing on various BBC Introducing shows.
