BIO
 The Rattlesnakes are a dynamic three  piece Rockabilly band based in Newcastle NSW, Australia.  
 Offering their own  infectious and high octane brand of rockabilly and ol’ school rock‘n’roll, the band 
 formed over five years ago after meeting at a local Retro Rockets gig and  haven’t looked back.  
 The Rattlesnakes have now performed over 200 shows around the east coast of  Australia. 
 The Rattlesnakes are a big hit with  audiences in the Newcastle and Hunter region and have a strong 
 following on the  Gold Coast, throughout Queensland and in Sydney.   
The Rattlesnakes have appeared at  numerous rockabilly festivals throughout Australia including Wintersun 2010  
on  the Gold Coast and nostalgia events in Sydney, Canberra and the Hunter Valley.   The Rattlesnakes have
established a reputation for highly entertaining,  danceable performances. The band has a strong following of  rockabilly dancers and car and hot rod
enthusiasts and receive regular airplay  on Australian Rockabilly Radio including Coral Coast Radio, Bay FM in  Brisbane and Coast  FM in the Sydney
region. The Rattlesnakes offer a great  upbeat rockabilly sound including influences of spaghetti western music, surf  sounds and rock‘n’roll with a
unique Australian flavour.  The Rattlesnakes have two albums including a recently released thirteen track LP  ‘High Noon In Hell Town’  and a four
track EP ‘Venom’.  High Noon In Hell Town was released at the Kurri Kurri Festival in March  2010 and has been very well received.
