About the event
Formed in 1981, Australian Ska legends The Strange Tenants are rightly proclaimed as the Godfathers of the Australian Ska movement. Taking their cues from English bands such as the Specials, Madness, Bad Manners and the Beat, fusing Jamaican rhythms with punk energy and their own Militant Style.
The Strange Tenants are still Ska’d for life and are coming back to Brisbane this September FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY to play once more for their QLD and northern NSW fans. Join us for a nostalgic journey spanning over four decades of ska and other classic hits. The show opens with Haret’s pounding mix of favourite and original sounds, followed by Baggy Trousers bringing the bouncing, upbeat Sound of Madness as a nod to early London ska influences. If this isn’t enough, the evening climaxes in a crescendo of Australian Ska from the legendary Strange Tenants.
It’s years since the Tenants were here…
