CALLING ALL RUCKETTES....THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO STAND AND BE COUNTED!!!!!!
Due to the awesome support from Daimler-Chrysler (FREIGHTLINER) Ruckus have completed our first video clip which we are promoting through the country music channel (CMC) as well as Nu Country Channel 31 and any other available avenues!!!!
The band would love to thank everyone who supported us over the Easter break with the filming of ‘A Truckers Wife’. Especially Richard and Ninnian from Perrigrine Productions,everyone who turned up at "The Dukes Saloon" in Lilydale for a Hootenanny on Saturday and a very special BIG thankyou to Malcomb and Dorethy Gardner from Milawa, who through Freightliner, were so kind as to allow us the use of their brand new Century Class semi and trailer. Malcomb threw me the keys to the truck, I threw him the keys to my 89 Commodore…… Fair swap I reckon!!! These people are salt of the earth and if everybody meets people like these once in their lives they can consider themselves very lucky indeed. Yee Haaaaa
NOW WE NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN…….
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUR VIDEO CLIP ON CMC YOU CAN GO TO WWW.COUNTRYMUSICCHANNEL.COM.AU FOLLOW THE LINK TO THE REQUEST PAGE AND REQUEST ‘A TRUCKERS WIFE’
RUCKUS: Southern Rock and Country Music
A warm welcome to the RUCKUS website.......please proceed further down the page for the most recent happenings with the band!!!! And for those who have not heard our CDs "Ruckus" and "The Other Side", seen us live or heard about us through friends and fellow music lovers......please read on!!!!
Our band evolved over 3 years ago from various previous line-ups. Founding member and guitarist, Mick Abrey had previously played in bands with Sandie Himbury (vocals), Marcela Taylor (violin), Kevin Lumsden (bass) and Craig Hadlow (drums). The current line-up has been solidly performing their material to a growing army of "Ruckettes" whose support has elevated the bands reputation way beyond our current epicenter - Melbourne and outer regions!!! Our material features an eclectic mix of southern rock and country with a growing list of 'home-made' originals.
The name "RUCKUS" evolved from a particularly eventful night experienced by some of the founding band members at an outer suburban venue of questionable repute (hmmm!!!!).
