This Australian Blues Chain Award winner has fired out consecutive No. 1 Albums In Australia & the U.S. as well as hitting the European charts.

Led by the irrepressible LLOYD G on drums and vocals (The Atlantics, Dave Warner, Russell Morris, Skyhooks, Christine Anu, Perry Keyes), THE SICARIOS play the Best of Creedence Clearwater revival, Neil Young and Tom Petty. This is an all-star band featuring Illya Szwec, Dave Molland, Tim Wedde and Georgia Street along with Lloyd. The Sicarios take classics from three heavyweights and not only do they honour the music completely with rich harmonies, steely guitar riffs and rhythms and total cohesion, they inject entirely new layers of meaning and significance to the music. They perform classic songs you'll know and love, as artfully as the original artists.
