Eastern Reggae Band is an eight-piece band from the Eastern Arrernte community of Santa Teresa, or Ltyentye Apurte, south-east of Alice Springs in the heart of Central Australia's desert. We tell the stories and memories of our people and share our message to the younger generation all set to a unique mix of traditional melodies, fast reggae beats and rock.
Formed in 2000, Eastern Reggae Band is made up of keys, guitar, bass and drums with songs sung in Arrernte and English. The bands that inspire us to play music are Warumpi Band, Lajamanu Teenage Band, Blakbala Music & Letterstick Band.
We play shows all across the Northern Territory, including Garma Festival, which is Australia's largest Indigenous gathering. We took the stage at Alice Springs' Light Festival and have been selected four times for MusicNT's prestigious Bush Bands Bash and Business Summit.
Original band members:
Donovan Mulldada - lead guitar
Travis Alice - rhythm guitar, vocals
Wayne Young - bass
Maxwell Meneri - vocals
