Mundi Mundi Bash 2024 has been and gone, and what a great time it was!
Now officially recognised as the largest outback music festival in the country with approaching 14,000 punters, Mundi Mundi this year boasted bands like Baby Animals, Jon Stevens, The Living End and more, with an all encompassing environment punctuated by a natural beauty only the outback can offer. And while most music festivals in this country rely on the drawing power of international bands to survive, Mundi Mundi remains committed to our own back yard with the entire line-up comprising only Australian bands. And still selling out.
Go figure…
HEAVY was invited for the very first time to join in the festivities, and who are we to knock back the chance to mix with the locals? Oh yeah, and they wanted us to speak to some of the bands.
What most punters don’t know with festivals is that often the artists performing do so using the house band. It saves on costs and makes for easier transition between sets, but is a hell of a lot of work for the unsung musicians who have to learn song after song after song.
HEAVY managed to track down musical director for the house band, guitarist Jak Housden, to find out more and what is involved.
