Mick Thomas’ Roving Commissioners are all set to kick off 2023 at Archies Creek and you are invited to join in on the fun! Not only will we have Mick and his band playing up a storm, but special guests Sherry Rich & The Grievous Angels will be kicking things off!
Raconteur, troubadour, balladeer and poet, Mick Thomas is best known as chief songwriter of pub-rock icons Weddings, Parties, Anything. His current band The Roving Commission features old “Weddoes” bandmate Squeezebox Wally on Piano Accordion and a rotating schedule of talented performers to keep the party alive with Mick's unique mix of folk, roots and country.
Mick Thomas' Roving Commision sign to Brisbane-based indie Coolin' By Sound, with a new album in the works and a new EP 'Back In The Day' coming in November, featuring new and old originals and unexpected covers of Cold Chisel, The Saints, Neil Young and Johnny Thunders. While the group toils away on their next full length album which is going to be called Where Only Memory Can Find You - which won't be out until 2023 - they've decided to christen the new relationship with a 7 track "maxi single" called Back in the Day. Unarguably the greatest Australian seven-track maxi single since Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons 1978 classic So Young, Back In The Day will feature a mix of new and old originals and some great covers.
“Thomas Has Always Been The One Singer/Strummer Who Can Cut Straight To The Weighty Stuff. Such Snapshots As “The Lonely Goth” And “Forgot She Was Beautiful” Poke Around In The World That Thomas Knows Best: Everyday Folks Trying To Make Sense Of The World."
