8CCC is excited to feature Mulga Bore Hard Rock 's debut album Sweet Home Mulga Bore. Electrifying youth band Mulga Bore Hard Rock is Thunder Child (Alvin Manfong - vocals/guitar), Desert Demon (Kirklen Bird - bass/vocals), Desert Dingo (Aiden Manfong - drums), Queen of Hearts (Niara Tilmouth - vocals/tambourine), Star Boy (Tryell Bird - guitar/vocals) and Black Diamond (Talvin Bird - bass).

The album tells the story of who they are and where they come from, altogether encapsulating the early mindset of an act destined for an enduring legacy within our country’s rock n roll landscape. Working alongside producers Dave Walker and Craig Harneth in his St Kilda Studio, the 6-piece act shaped a gritty, raw 8-track collection propelled by their signature hard rock sound.
