The Murlocs
From the Piping Hot Chicken Ship in Ocean Grove to the big(ger) stage.
Overview
Dave Graney has described The Murlocs as "a bunch of teens who got that 'Nuggets' sound that so many strive so hard for, so absolutely perfectly". Fans use words like 'tasty', 'maddogs', 'digganittt' and 'nifty' to express their admiration.
However you articulate it, these boys, who hail from Victoria's surf coast, have come a long way since making their debut public appearance at the Piping Hot Chicken Ship in Ocean Grove. The Hoodoo Gurus invited them to performance at the inaugural Dig It Up! Festival in 2012, and with two EPs behind them, they're now about to tour with new single 'Rattle the Chain'.
"Shot guns raise towards my window sill, I've been told they shoot to kill," wails lead singer and harmonic player Ambrose Kenny-Smith, who says he grew up "brainwashing" himself with his father's blues collection. It seems to have done the trick - his vocal delivers an authenticity that one doesn't hear too often.
