The Corporate Raiders return to Melbourne in November for a regional run culminating in a show at the Post Office Hotel on Saturday 13th. The band is pillaged from a spectrum of alt-country and alt-rock bands, frontman Mick Daley being founding member of northern NSW country rock and roll outfit The Re-Mains, who toured every rodeo and inner city dive in Australia, made three massive tours of Canada and a successful run through Europe.
Drummer Scotty Dog Bennett, once a Re-Main, now steers Melbourne outfits including Shaky Stills and the Michael Meeking band. Bassplayer Sam Fiddian was a member of alt-country darlings the Idle Hoes and plays with Cold Irons Bound. Mark McCartney has been a guitar for hire with Mick Thomas, Crawfish Dave, Jo Meares, and John Dowler’s Vanity project.
Bristling with Jobkeeper-acquired gear, Daley’s keen for a raid on Melbourne’s ivory towers.
