The Legendary Rum Jungle
Music
• Rock
In 1978, Adelaide band Rum Jungle, led by charismatic, wild singer/guitarist
Phil Colson, travelled to Bangkok on a mysterious journey. The trip
destroyed the band. 36 years later the band re-grouped at Fringe 2015 in
front of 400 fans to recreate the sound that kept the Lord Melbourne Hotel
jumping for an era and shocked sedate Thai audiences. In 2018 Rum Jungle
have been invited to perform once again at the German Club for the
Adelaide Fringe, and give us a taste of their signature sound -- blues,
R&B, funk and debauchery. The band lay it on thick with nostalgia and
reunite to play the music they love, 40 years after that mysterious
Thailand gig... who knows where the night will lead?
