Hall of Famers play Desert Harmony


Fresh from their induction into the Hall Of Fame at the 2009 NT Indigenous Music Awards on August 21, NT icons The Tablelands Drifters (pictured above at Desert Harmony) kicked some serious live music butt on the weekend, playing the Desert Harmony Festival in Tennant Creek. The legendary band also left a big impression on Rolling Stone music writer Barry Divola who proclaimed guitarist Angus "the Mark Knopfler of the desert", after he saw the Drifters play a surprise gig at Happy Yess, post -IMAs.

Tennant metal band Unbroken Expanse also left their mark at Desert Harmony - catch a glimpse of their high energy performance, sent in by Music NT's Mark Smith.  Adrian reckons they were in "top form" (see sms review above). Desert Harmony - a part of NT Music Month.
