Shanks Pony
Shanks Pony is a band from Perth, Australia which plays rowdy folk rock music
    Shanks Pony

    Shanks Pony Referred to as the Australian version of The Pogues, Shanks Pony are able to pull off a huge sound with only four lads on stage. They are a band that knows how to have fun, combining on-stage antics with up-tempo music. With lyrics ranging from the sensitive to the down-right rowdy this oz/celtic rock style has influen...ces stemming from Weddings Parties Anything, Flogging Molly and The Pogues. Taking it one step further Shanks Pony has had a crack at traditional Aussie bush-folk tunes breathing new life into almost seemingly forgotten tunes. Their racy version of Ryebuck Shearer with a beer-chugging chorus is one that immediately has your feet tapping and always wins over an audience young or old. Their modern approach to songs about well known Australian bush rangers, sheep shearing traditionals and the old Australian lifestyle has brought these old tunes back into the 21st century.

    Shanks Pony are touring the southwest this long weekend in May and can be seen at the following venues:

    Dunsborough Tavern - Friday May 29
    Nannup Hotel - Saturday May 30

        Shanks Pony

        Shanks Pony Are you looking for music that sounds distinctively Australian, but has celtic roots fuelled by beer chugging choruses, full-bosomed bar wenches and the finest lyrics ranging from the sensitive to down right rowdy? If you are, and you intend to catch a night out at the pub with such a band, make sure you take Shanks Po...ny.

        Local lad Todd Lynch finally gets to perform at his old watering hole. Please come and support his band Shanks Pony on Friday the 17th of April.
