About
Hunting Thompson is a band for hire in Marrickville, NSW.
Marrickville four piece Hunting Thompson play rhythmic, groove-driven rock with head-banging solos and lyrics that mean something. They'll play sets of 30, 45 or 60 minutes and they're straightforward about what they want: a stage and an audience. Instruments come with them, though they're happy to use house gear if it's there. PA speakers and microphones can be arranged, lighting too, and if there's no power at the site they can sort a generator or battery powered amp. Public liability insurance and a Working With Children Check are held, plus busking permits for public performances, though those vary by location so it's worth confirming first.
Watch
The show
Four players, and the point of them is the groove. Rhythmic beats underneath, solos that lift the roof, lyrics that carry some weight. Hunting Thompson will play a 30, 45 or 60 minute set depending on what your night needs, and they'll talk through which one fits before you commit. What they're after is a room that's actually listening. If you've got that, they'll do the rest.
On the day
A stage and a crowd. That's the short version. Hunting Thompson bring their instruments, though if the venue already has backline sitting there they're happy to plug into it instead. PA speakers, microphones and lighting can all be arranged if the room has none. And if there's no power at the site at all, say so early: a generator or battery powered amp can be organised, but it needs a conversation first rather than a discovery on the day.
