About The
Rightful Loners

Buckle up, beautiful people… it’s The Rightful Loners!

This raucous four-piece spend their days with boring desk jobs, dropping their façade of respectability every weekend for a maelstrom of high energy, cracking music, and questionable fashion choices.

Whether they’re ripping their way through their extensive catalogue of 90s and 00s alternative, growling through some grunge, or showing some classic punk who’s in charge, the only people having more fun than the band are the fans.

Together since 2018, the lead singer is a nine-foot tall, foul-mouthed badarse, much to her mother’s dismay. The bass player rarely wears underwear, and when he does, it’s usually something unusual. Guitar is handled by the human equivalent of a Hemingway cat, as he somehow covers multiple guitar lines in almost every song. Which leaves the hunky, South American drummer, who launches drumsticks across the room so often that eye protection is recommended.

Our shows

Most of our shows centre on an arse-kicking mix of 90s and 00s alternative. We punch up that repertoire with a few more recent and older songs, and often throw in a few fun outliers.

The songs are familiar crowd-pleasers, without falling into the stereotypical pub covers genre. The sum total is a fun show that gets people singing and dancing along.

We also do ripping punk covers show, if that is more to your liking! We focus mainly on punk classics, but throw in a few newer ones to spice it up.

We know…. It’s not for everyone – but we’re punks from way back!

 

Our repertoire

We cover a big range of artists, both Australian and international. We tailor every show to the venue and local tastes, and can go more mainstream or edgier, mid-range or harder, depending on your preference.

With every show, we endeavour to play crowd-pleasers, without doing typical pub standards. We are a Mustang Sally and Joe Cocker-free zone!
