Critically acclaimed hard rock band Queens of The Stone Age are returning to Australia and New Zealand for their 2017 tour. They will be performing in Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne and Byron Bay, at the festival Splendour In The Grass, as well as Darwin for the very first time.

The support act joining them for their Darwin leg of the tour is Indigenous bush-punk band The Lonely Boys, one of the most popular Indigenous acts in the Northern Territory.

The six-piece band are from the remote community of Ngukurr in South East Arnhem Land a nine-hour drive south-east of Darwin. The boys have just released their first EP and are stoked to be performing alongside one of the biggest rock bands of the last two decades.

"Tell you the truth, my music came straight from the bush and I never heard of Queens of the Stone Age," laughed singer Ambrose Daniels.

"But I did research on YouTube and I noticed they're the biggest band in the world."

This will be no small feat for the band who only perform about three gigs per year. This is partly due to the fact that they don’t own their own instruments and have to borrow them wherever they can.

"The only time we practise is when we get up on the stage, we just borrow scraps and whatever we can to practise and perform," Daniels said.

Their album is all about their lives in Arnhem Land, their connection to the land of their ancestors, hunting crocodiles and spear fishing for barramundi.

"It's full of confidence, full of an 'up yours' mentality — we're out here and live in Ngukurr, we can do anything we want, we can live in the bush, we know how to fish and hunt, this is our music and that's what it's all about," their producer Michael Hohnen said.

The band has attracted attention from other renowned musicians such as hip hop artist Briggs.

"Even though they couldn't read a note and don't understand the theory of music, music is so deeply embedded in them that they are completely literate," the band's manager, Mark Grose of Skinnyfish Music, told the ABC.

The next challenge for The Lonely Boys? They’ve just got to borrow a car to make it to their gig in Darwin.
