Melbourne's newest hard rock band The Calabrians are keen to show what they’ve got. Co founder Pip Pupillo has spent the last 35+ years fronting veteran Alt country/rock band The T-bones, but decided at age 56 to start a hard rock band with his old buddy Baz Valance. Valance is a slick guitarist with a metal background and Pupillo says the combination of his rough style with the slickness of Valance has produced something special. Influences range from AC/DC to the Sunnyboys to Radiobirdman and REM and their sound posses that uniquely Australian hard rock edge. The Calabrians are here.
