Edit history

The Sunburys are a svelte, energetic three-piece soul rock band from Brisbane, Australia, featuring Anthony Dettori (guitar, vocals), Scott Lapthorne (drums, percussion), Derek Haas (bass, backing vocals), and the occasional celebrity import.

Deft songsmiths and gutsy performers, The Sunburys are a band of craft and character who rank substance over style and integrity over celebrity. The Sunburys’ no-nonsense attitude and rock energy are evident on the band’s three studio albums, ‘Here Comes the Sunburys’ (2009), ‘Swings & Roundabouts’ (2010) and the new record, ‘Keep a Lid on It’ (2012). Each record was produced by Jeff Lovejoy at Blackbox, with an emphasis on capturing a fresh “live”
