The band's relaxed and funky tongue in cheek attitude and sound is characteristic of the influences of the Oz 70s with the freshness of NOW making Hey Gringo so unique and refreshing. First album “I WAS THERE” met with airplay Oz & worldwide in countries such as Argentina, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Canada & The Netherlands, establishing a reputation for their music being "thought provoking and striking a balance between punchy & relaxed grooves, something Hey Gringo do extraordinarily well" by Terry Reilly of the Melbourne Age Newspaper's Entertainment Guide Album Review. Their second album Funky Car broke new ground aided through distribution with Soundvault Records and the song co-penned with Ross Wilson & Daryl Roberts’ “Old Country Road” gained National airplay. Billy Pinnell (Oz Music Historian & Musicologist) “Claimed the FuNkY CaR to be one of the best albums of 2003.” Latest album “three” is now available and building on the gringo reputation as one of the most individual fully original bands around. Hey Gringo's consistent creative spirit and depth of songwriting skills helps produce such a diverse but characteristic performance, hence the comment from last years Telstra Great Southern Blues & Rockabilly Festival “One of the best live band I have seen in ages”. Bobsy-Die perform their own brand of traditional folk music they call bushgrass. Teach folk dances and give everyone good time in the process.
