THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY - New EP at the beginning of May 2011




The Ramshackle Army as they shall hence forth be known have been on the march providing Celt infused Punk Rock sustenance to thirsty audiences across Melbourne and Sydney since first hitting the stage mid-2010. Armed with more 4 stringed instruments than 6, the RSA have come to deliver a service. That is, to provide an outlet for all those drunken bums who wish nothing more than to sing loud with mates even when they have no idea of the lyrics. Music designed to bring listeners out of the cold, shout “whoa whoa!” to the heavens and yell at the guy next to them that “it’s your round!”

From ol' Melbourne town, the band have been playing extensively through the pub scene building a fearsome reputation in a short time through tireless promotion, and energetic live show and a dedication to creating a brand recognition.

While still the “new kids” on the scene the RSA continue to grow their impressive resume which includes, but not limited to, venues such as:

• The Hi Fi
• The Esplanade Hotel (Gershwin and Front Bar)
• The Prince Of Wales for St Kilda Festival
• The Victoria Hotel, Brunswick for Sydney Rd Festival
• The Dan O’Connell as part of St Patrick’s Day Festivities
• The Arthouse
• The Workers Club
• The Annandale as part of Blood Sweat & Beers (Syd)
• The Harp as part of Renegades Revolution (Syd)
• Cherry Bar
• The Workers Club, Fitzroy
• The Royal Derby for a month long Residency
• The Victoria Hotel Brunswick for a month long residency

Taking pleasure in sharing the stage with many of the country’s finest proponents of punk, rock, folk punk, ska and rockabilly, the RSA seek to play to a wide and diverse audience without the restriction of “pigeonholing” or scene classifications.

The Ramshackle Army have recently added to the arsenal with their debut Independent EP "Life Lessons & Drunken Sessions" ready invade the market May 2011. Recorded at 3 Phase in Brunswick, VIC by Sam Johnson (Mindsnare, Toe to Toe, A Death in The Family, House Vs Hurricane) and mastered at Blasting Room, Fort Collins, CO. by Jason Livermore (Rise Against, A Wilhelm Scream) "Life Lessons & Drunken Sessions" is the first attempt at transferring the live energy of an RSA show to recorded format and will surely have the audience in the mood for a drunken singalong.

The future for the Ramshackle Army includes a push further into other Australian Capital Cities while growing brand and fan base through a continuation of their relentless playing and promotion, while using the dedicated online Celt punk community to begin growing the brand internationally. With so much on the horizon the noises made by the RSA are only to growing louder.

Now enough with the ranting… I’m pretty sure it’s your round.
