Edit history

Formed in late 2016 by Rob Garry as a solo studio-based project, The Arturos (named in honour of the late Arturo Vega, the unofficial “5th Ramone”) started out as a love letter to 70’s punk rock. The goal was pure and simple: Write and record an EP’s worth of material, and share it with like-minded friends and fellow bands. Overwhelming positive feedback, and repeated airplay on local community radio station 4ZZZ, demanded that The Arturos become a live entity. Enter Robb Perkin (bass/vocals) and Danyn Andrews (drums) in early 2017. The chemistry was undeniable. They also brought with them a broader spectrum of influences (Black Flag, Dwarves), and a dynamic far beyond what was originally thought possible. They've since released an EP and shared the stage with great bands such as The Supersuckers (USA), The Creepshow (CAN) and most importantly, CJ Ramone, on his final Australian tour.
