Melbourne, Australia
In this metro-male inspired world of the 21st century you would think the days of dirty, bluesy, garage rock are numbered. On the contrary, the genre is thriving because in each and every one of us there is a cowboy stirring inside, waiting for the day we can ride o'er yonder with gun in hand and on our trusty wolf in toe (mine's called 'Two Socks').
Gareth Eunson wants you to be that cowboy; now. His rollicking blues-inspired tunes will put you in the mood to err, rob a bank, take down Mayor Iemma or hijack a train (anyone know what happened on the Harbour Bridge this afternoon?). It's lucky for our fair police that he has only 82 friends on myspace (sure to change given he's currently on the front page of Triple J Unearthed).
