Legends of Motorsport have got the horn. A whole bunch of ‘em in fact – yes, it’s big band night. Team Legends are beefing up the aural assault with a purloined horn section courtesy of Melbourne soul rockers Dynamo, who are also on the bill. Sounds like a party, right? Throw in a little garagey krautrock madness from Yis, and we have party confirmation. Yeah Uh Huh! Legends have been kicking against the Australian rock orthodoxy whilst still managing to blow wannabes off stage and outta town with their truly unique mix of Farfisa organ bluster and bottom end guitar bludgeon as either visitors from Tasmania, or now as fully fledged blow-ins, since way back in the mid nineties. Despite (or maybe due to) an ever evolving line up that has at various times featured all kinds of rock illuminati from bands as diverse as Bloodduster, the Meanies, and Rocket Science, Legends have outlasted many of their contemporaries and have released numerous 7″ singles, EPs, and albums along the way, as well as finding time to play shows with the likes of Queens of the Stoneage, Mudhoney, Dwarves, White Stripes, Hellacopters, and countless other international and local bands. And with a string of performances at various Big Days Out, Merediths, and other big parties, their reputation for driving over guitars with cars during shows, destroying perfectly good tambourines, choreographing falling down drunk and various other pool-room worthy antics precedes them.
