La Bastard - Tales from the Beyond - album tour and Sin and Tonics and Mangus

Riotous surf/rockabilly extravaganza La Bastard are bringing their hip shakin', reverb drenched, madcap rock and roll machine to Hobart for the first time ever! With their second album "Tales from the Beyond" just released through Off the Hip Records, La Bastard will celebrate this new release at The Republic Bar and Cafe. Joining them for the ride will be awesome local legends the Sin & Tonics, and Mangus

Forming in late 2010 and quickly signing with respected garage rock label Off the Hip, La Bastard's energetic surf rock

sound and frenetic live shows have captured audiences' imaginations across Melbourne, regional Victoria and interstate.

Playing with some of Australia's finest including the Meanies, the Toot Toot Toots and Brothers Grim & the Blue Murders,

as well as supporting Spanish garage heroes Los Chicos on their 2012 Australian tour, La Bastard's sultry vocals, searing

licks and unwavering energy will get you dancin', even if they have to come down there and join you!

"Treat this band with respect." Patrick Emery, Beat Magazine

"An energetic release full of attitude and kick-ass musicianship... ...get your dancin' shoes on and prepare for one helluva

workout." Cherrie Magazine

"The cheers and smiles of everyone at this show is a soaring tribute to just how good they are" Zoran Ilievski, Veri.Live Magazine
