The Calabrians & Birds aren’t real

Sat sept 13 Tote front bar, arvo

The Calabrians bring a uniquely Australian hard rock edge to the stage, driven by the iconic Pip Pupillo, co-founder and frontman of veteran alt-country/rock band The T-Bones. With over 40 years of experience, Pip's distinctive voice and style are unmistakable.

Teaming up with James Stewart (Warner Bros, 4 door shitbox), James McHugh ( Stiff kittens) and Callum Walkinshaw (Stool pigeons, Birds aren’t real) The Calabrians deliver a high-energy sound influenced by iconic bands like AC/DC, Sunnyboys, Radio birdman, and REM.

The combination of Pip's rough, emotive style with a fresh new line up has created something truly special. The Calabrians' music is a testament to the enduring power of Australian rock, with songs that explore themes of heartbreak, isolation, and everyday life. With their unique sound and wealth of experience, The Calabrians are a force to be reckoned with in the Australian rock scene.
