The Huxton Creepers were the first of a new generation of punchy power pop and '60s-inspired rock'n'roll guitar bands in Melbourne in the early ‘80s; our own version of the Sunnyboys and the Hoodoo Gurus. United by a love of The Saints, The Flamin’ Groovies, Iggy Pop, Radio Birdman, Blondie, Creedence Clearwater Revival and the like – all of whom they memorably covered at different points in their career - the Creepers won a generation of fans on the back of their always rocking live performances and some great records.
The group, which still comprises all original members - lead singer & guitarist Rob Craw, lead guitarist Paul Thomas (later of Weddings Parties Anything) and the rhythm section of Matthew Eddy and Archie Law - plays out only rarely and is relishing the thought of a massive night at WYC. Fans can expect maximum fun along with faithful versions of Creepers hits like 'My Cherie Amour', 'The Murderess', 'I Will Persuade You' and 'Autumn Leaves' and fan faves like 'Shake Some Action', as well no doubt as some of the group’s unforgettable stage banter.
