From their debut release in 1994 to their most recent output, they constantly prove why they have found themselves at the top of the Australian music charts and receiving numerous awards on a regular basis. It means that when they appear onstage, they are likely to be a live band to rival all others, with Powderfinger tickets providing fans with an unbeatable opportunity to witness an acclaimed and renowned group.
Consisting of Bernard Fanning on vocals, Darren Middleton & Ian Haug on guitars, John Collins on the bass and Jon Coghill on the drums, Powderfinger have been performing together since the late eighties and derived their name from the Neil Young song of the same name. In the early 1990s they self-produced an EP called “Blue” and were soon snapped up by a major record company, allowing them to go on and release “Parables for Wooden Ears” in 1994. As the years went by they then added to this with a back catalogue of albums consisting of “Double Allergic” in 1996, “Internationalist” in 1998, “Odyssey Number Five” in 2000, “Vulture Street” in 2003, “Dream Days at the Hotel Existence” in 2007 and “Golden Rule” in 2009. These releases have earned them a well-deserved place in rock history, which has only been proved further by singles like “Passenger” and “The Day You Come”, which were huge successes on their rise to fame at the end of the 1990s. Their commercial success with albums like “Internationalist” and beyond has also led to an abundance of awards, with the ARIA Awards handing them a total of fifteen gongs over the years.
So it is safe to say that Powderfinger are a band with a bright future ahead of them and when they take to the stage they will provide fans with an unbeatable experience. With chart, critical, audience and awards success they have little left to prove except that they can maintain high quality in their output and impress their fans well into the future. With Powderfinger tickets, you are in safe hands.
