Live & Free In The Eastern Lounge
The Flattrakkers are a 3 piece band with front man Mark Hawkins on guitar and main vocals, Matt Ward playin' slap bass and back-up vocals and Cameron Overend with his crafty drum skills and also providing back-up vocals. It's Rockabilly! Call it neo, hot roddin', high octane, amped up, toe-tappin', flat out or create your own definition. The Flattrakkers have developed a style unlike any other...
In their 10th year, The Flattrakkers have released 4 studio albums, the latest - "Gettin' Dirty". Some are calling it the best yet. The ROCK is in rockabilly when you're talkin' The Flattrakkers. It's clear by their always growing fan base that they know how to connect with the crowd and deliver the goods.
It's all non-stop and the The Flattrakkers play a stack of both local (around Newcastle and the Hunter) and "away" gigs including the rockabilly, kustom kulture and blues & roots scenes around Australia and New Zealand. Go to any gig and you can expect a wide variety of original tunes (40+ to put some kind of number on it) - fast, slow and everywhere in between. Their tunes reflect the main ingredients for any rockabilly outfit - fast cars, hot rods, girls, booze, dancing and just having a good time but it's the boys love of speedway that keeps them focused and "driven".
They stay true to the Flattrakkin' formula (if there is such a thing) and have sold thousands of albums here in Oz and around the world. The live shows carry so much energy and fun, throw in a handful of cover songs and you'll definitely be coming back for more, more, MORE.
The Flattrakkers music has been used in film, commercials, hotrod DVDs, speedway promos, online radio, music compilations, etc, yadda yadda!! These boys provide the perfect soundtrack for a night of dancing or cruisin’ in your ride.
If you haven't seen The Flattrakkers yet it's time to do yourself a favour and catch 'em at a gig - you won't be disappointed.
