In 1980 The Bushwackers released their most successful album and launched a Bush Dance phenomenon in Town Halls and major venues throughout Australia. The ‘Dance Album’ went GOLD and enjoyed chart success on leading commercial Pop/Rock stations! Since then The Dance Album and companion Book have been a much loved and requested part of Australia's musical heritage with primary schools introducing Bush Dancing into the school curriculum.
With the original 'Dance Album' out of date and no longer in manufacture, The Bushwackers are bringing back the Dance Album. To celebrate their 40th year in 2011, The Bushwackers are releasing the Dance Album with new recordings, a new book and website.
It's an exciting time for the band, between now and the official birthday bash scheduled for the 2011 Tamworth Country Music Festival, the Bushies are full steam ahead in planning and recording mode.

WHERE IS THE MUSIC? We have been getting plenty of enquires about why we don't have our entire back catalogue that's listed on our website for sale online -over 19 albums worth? Unfortunately, this old material is out of print and no longer manufactured. We are doing our best to re-record all the favorites from those albums. The Australian Songbook and Australian Songbook II series is the first of these new independent recordings and we have more planned for the future.
The items for sale in our online STORE are the only OFFICIAL Bushwackers albums and merchandise available. That means we re-coup the sales and can re-invest in recording more of that old material to make available to you, our fans.
Help us spread the word; buy the OFFICIAL Bushwackers music from our online STORE or at selected retail outlets.
