Biography
Moonlight Wranglers’ electrifying live shows lurch from sweat-soaked sex-rock to romantic laments, with driving rhythms pushing their twin guitar pedal sound manipulation. A five piece rock / etc band, they have been lurking in the shadows of Perth (Western Australia) music since 2003. The white-heat rock fire in their belly, blues tear in their eye and earnest cabaret croon in their heart, conspire to satisfy the needs and desires of the initiated and unsuspecting alike.
Having supported touring acts such as Six Foot Hick (Qld), The Hippriests (Germany) and The Stabs (Vic), they have also shared bills with WA’s foremost luminaries including Abbe May, Kill Devil Hills, Tomâs Ford, Fear of Comedy, Schvendes and The Painkillers. Their debut EP ‘ At Max´ ’ was delivered in 2007 and their full length LP ‘Last’ was launched in March 2010. Moonlight Wranglers are proud to have been the most inappropriate inclusion on 2007’s W.A. Decay compilation, and a natural selection for 2009’s W.A. Gold. In January 2010, they are most gratified to have played the final gig at Perth’s legendary Hyde Park Hotel. They are currently planning a national tour.
"A sensational band to watch live, the wranglers have a great way of incorporating various sub-genres without becoming too tied down by any one … the bounce of rockabilly, the shimmer of surf, the attitude of outlaw country, and the essential tenacity of punk rock"

“Not recommended for pregnant or lactating mothers.”

"No frills straight-up intricate rock. They are hardcore with melody which is something seen not very often in the local Perth scene."

“This is Wranglers country where things can be strange at the best of times. Human tragedy and the dark ashes and slime that Moonlight Wranglers like to set their music to. Gorge on this, it’s bloody good!”
- Groove Magazine
**note - unfortunately, a couple of overseas bands share our name, it can cause some confusion online.
