Boom! Bap! Pow!
The Rosemount Hotel
Saturday, August 10,
Though it may sound like a night of comic strip shenanigans, the speakers were the ones doing the thwacking during this raucous night of Boom! Bap! Pow!’s latest album launch.
Dux N Downtown started the night with a bang through their harmonica soaked, toe tapping, bluesy set. The initial vocalist had a gorgeous smooth sound with intoxicating low vocals, while the second had an equally stunning gravel of short, sharp bursts. The rocker bellowed ‘Motherfucker stole my shit!’ between guitar wails, reminiscent of Seasick Steve.
Energetic, groovy blues band Huge Magnet belted out the interesting cover song choice Son of A Preacher Man, which soon showed itself to be a comical Hits From The Bong mash up, loosening up the audience for a night of light hearted entertainment.

Boom! Bap! Pow!
The tours do indeed keep on coming for the West Australians, with separate jaunts throughout in support of US artists Royal Crown Revue and Eli &#;Paperboy&#; Reed. &#;We were lucky with those shows: there&#;s a little bit of us being happy to passform a similar product, but we&#;re also having an absolute ball on the road,&#; Novak says.

BOOM! BAP! POW!
Perth Rock n' Soul merchants Boom! Bap! Pow! are a band that know how to work their crowd the old fashioned way. They've spent the last few years clocking up kilometres and appearing on just about every stage on offer. Give them a few planks of wood to jive on and an audience to sway and Boom! Bap! Pow! will put their heads down and get down to business. The rest of the country has also fallen for their lightning-in-a-bottle style as they've toured with the likes of Eli 'Paperboy' Reed, Lake Street Dive and Royal Crown Revue, played huge national festivals such as Queenscliffe and Laneway and won a multitude of plaudits far and wide.
Two years on from the release of sophomore album So Heavy, lead single ‘Suit’ is showing no signs of going away. After being selected by the the likes of Bonds, Value City Furniture (US) and GILT the track has recently been commissioned by Diet Coke&
