Meet Mulga Bore Hard Rock. They are a six piece band of brothers and cousins

hailing from the remote central Australia desert community of Akaye, two hours

northeast of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.

This group of teenagers, ages 15-20 years old, bring from the hot, dry desert their own style of hard rock, inspired

by 70s, 80s and 90s greats like KISS, Status Quo and Guns N’ Roses, with a bit of Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis thrown in for good measure.

They sing in English and the Anmatyerre language of their mob. From forming at their

tiny school of 20 students to winning a Battle of the Bands, to opening for their

heroes KISS – yes, that KISS – on the End of the Road tour, MBHR, led by front man

Alvin Manfong, are working hard to take their big anthemic rockers to the next level.

Coming off the back of a jam packed 2024 with gigs including Mona Foma, Share the

Spirit, GARMA, two showcase tours Big Sound and SXSW Sydney, a new album and a

first single release with video for Younga Barla Mapa, they are ready to rock the big

stages for 2025

Catch them at The Tote on March 6th for an exclusive sideshow whilst the band are in Victoria for festival apperances at Golden Plains and The Port Fairy Folk Festival.
