DescriptionThe Fujiyama Mamas are three core members – Cate de Carteret, Sonjia Van den Berg and Paul Spurling who gathered like a tumbleweed in the badlands of NMIT in 2011. Wanda Jackson wannabe Cate de Carteret felt the need to fill the palpable absence of women in Melbourne’s burgeoning rockabilly scene, Since then, Paul’s honky tonk piano, Sonja’s thumpin bass and Cate’s raspy yodelling, has created a number of country death songs with a hillbilly twang. The Fujiyama Mamas have been described as Grinderman meets Brenda Lee and Wanda Jackson. The current line-up includes gorgeous George Gardner on lead guitar and Joel Stibbard on drums who also feature on The Fujiyama Mamas debut EP ‘Bento Rocks’.
After playing at the Moomba festical, the cherry on top for 2012 is the invitation from The Banjo Show, asking The Fujiyama Mamas to play as house band, just as Damian Howard and the Ploughboys did in 2011. What an honor!
