About us
Australian Rock and Blues make up the bulk cover song list of The Lagernauts, followed by a swag of popular 60s world classic rock chart busters like The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Jimmy Hendrix and Steppenwolf. Over 50 years of gig experience between members of The Lagernauts lends the band an ability to improvise, which makes for a unique show every time they hit the stage. A dynamic, tight rock music unit bringing you all of your favourite hits from the sixties. Add a little on stage band banter and witty, tasteful humour and you have most of the ingredients that make up The Lagernauts.
The Lagernauts formed in 2012 by a group of like-minded musicians with the intent of performing rock and blues cover songs at Hervey Bay and surrounding venues and functions. Always entertaining and energetic at their live shows, The Lagernauts rapidly developed a solid fan base around the Fraser Coast and continue to impress and engage audiences wherever they play.
April 2013 saw The Lagernauts compete in the local inaugural Last Band Standing Competition where 24 bands were carefully selected from a list of the Fraser Coast's finest acts. The Lagernauts made it through to the semi-finals of this competition as one of eight bands to compete for a spot in the final. The band played the first 3 of their original songs during the heats and finals of this comp and are currently recording a 4 track EP of original rock and blues.
Then came the innagaural Fraser Coast Music Fest in May 2013 where The Lagernauts were a crowd favourite amongst the stellar line-up which included The Fraser Coast’s Dogwood Crossing, international artists The Bobkatz and Gold Coast heavy hitting rock band The Midnight Antics.
The Lagernauts are available for hire for all occasions including festivals, private functions, pubs and clubs. The band consists of Mark - Bass, John - Drums, "The Stig" - Electric Guitar, Doug Edwards - Lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica.
