BITZER – OZ ROCK SIX PACK

The aural equivalent of a meat pie and tomato sauce, or sticky carpet at a beer-soaked pub, the Oz Rock Six Pack by cover band Bitzer is unashamedly Aussie and bogan as all hell.

Performed by a self-professed mongrel of a supergroup, this is a blistering collection of Oz/NZ rock covers including Marseilles by The Angels, Gonna See My Baby Tonight by the La De Das, and Midnight Oil’s No Time for Games. Bitzer’s versions of these songs are even stronger and more spirited than the originals, highlighting the group’s impeccable Oz rock pedigree, with band members having worked with Rose Tattoo, Billy Thorpe, the Ted Mulry Gang and many more.
