They are not a Bernie Sanders tribute band. Grown up on Rock and Roll, Benji and Gigzy aka “The Bernies” are an outfit from the deep South-West of Sydney. Making a splash in the local live scene, they’ve sold out venues such as the Oxford Art Factory, and Vanguard. The Bernies have been gigging all around Sydney for the last 3 years, and are best known for their live performances. The bigger the crowd, the better. They play the music the way it should be, loud and raucous. With a flair for the poetics, onstage antics and Godlike guitar tones, The Bernies are best served live, with a side of whiskey on the rocks. The Bernies have welded together something new, something Australia hasn’t necessarily seen before. Their style is part blues, part rock, and part indie, blended together to make a sound nostalgic for a time once past, and yet still modern. They’ll get you AND your parents moshing. With an Album in the works, The Bernies are devoutly planning a release of new music.
