The Calabrians & The T-Bones live at TFIF

The Calabrians bring a uniquely Australian hard rock edge to the stage, driven by the legendary Pip Pupillo, co-founder and frontman of veteran alt-country/rock band The T-Bones. With over 35 years of experience, Pip's distinctive voice and style are unmistakable. Teaming up with Baz Valance, a skilled guitarist with a metal background, The Calabrians deliver a high-energy sound influenced by iconic bands like AC/DC, Sunnyboys, Radiobirdman, and REM.

The combination of Pip's rough, emotive style and Baz's slick, metal-infused guitar work has created something truly special. The Calabrians' music is a testament to the enduring power of Australian rock, with songs that explore themes of heartbreak, isolation, and everyday life. With their unique sound and wealth of experience, The Calabrians are a force to be reckoned with in the Australian rock scene.
