Legendary Aussie legends Huxton Creepers, who were ubiquitous with their power pop across pub stages throughout the 1980s are reforming and getting set to hit stages along the east coast for a national tour. Bursting on to the scene in 1984, the band rose quickly on the back of their live reputation to become a staple of the national touring circuit and saw inclusion on several influential compilations.
Their 1986 debut album 12 Days to Paris dominated public radio and the alternative charts and in 1987 they recorded a cover of ‘Pretty Flamingo’ which went top 40 and earned them further commercial radio play and mainstream coverage, before releasing their second album So This is Paris was released in 1988.
By 1990 the band began to move in different directions, with Paul Thomas moving on to join Weddings, Parties, Anything and Rob Craw formed a couple of outfits, including the Victory Girls. 1996 saw a re-union tour and best of, and 2009 saw the band reunite properly for the first time with drummer Arch Law to support The Stems at a now legendary sold out show at The Corner Hotel.
Now in 2011, the Creepers are reforming for one last hurrah with their re-mastered 12 Days to Paris released through Fuse Music Group on September 9th and an October tour to boot!
