The Alternators

Original songs are what The Alternators bring to a stage. The Melbourne band draws on reggae, funk, folk, pop and alternative rock, with some blues in there too, so a set can shift from a laid-back groove to something with more bite. That suits a festival slot, a pub night built around live music, or a party where the hosts would rather hear something new than the usual hits. The band sums up its aim as honest songs and good entertainment, and they travel nationwide.
