A bush band who combine reggae rhythms with desert soul, Docker River Band was a tip sent to us by our friend Jack. We dropped the needle on their album WA Border and that was that. This band is the real deal. Singing in their native Pitjantjatjara and English, Docker River Band is led by a unique and powerful vocalist Roy Jugadai, the band around him as tight as anything you’d hear in the Caribbean. Not only do they know how to play but the songwriting is also pure magic. Relating everyday life in Kaltukatjara (Docker River), drawing inspiration from the red earth, cliffs, waterholes, and bush life around them. It’s a big sound and an even bigger spirit. Kaltukatjara is a tiny station on the border of WA and NT. Middle of nowhere. And we are absolutely delighted to host their Victorian debut at Town Folk. Put your dancing boots on.
