"The Backyard Crickets are a manifestation of music, mates and ideals (actually a 'Democracy Manifestation' if you will).. It's what happens when rhetoric and hindsight come together, heavily influenced by the works of Garrett, Lebowski and Karlson. Inspired by the mines of Tom Price and Roy Hill, delivered through a trusty 58 Shure Beta microphone by author and people's poet Serge Salamander, backed by the Crickets band with blended visuals of an Australian landscape and those who helped create it. Our original compositions will bring you back to a time when things were simpler, our tongues firmly planted in the cheeks of the great people who inhabit this country..(except for the arseholes of course)" ;)
