They seemed to step out of a tourism poster... Spruce, lean, tanned and young... They swam, they surfed, they radiated a healthy, wholly Australian aura... Australian Crawl turned the bronzed lifesaver into a pop idol... Crawl songs seemed to symbolise freedom, adventure and the great outdoors
Thirty years after it was released, Australian Crawl’s debut album, The Boys Light Up, was featured in The 100 Best Australian Albums.” Australian Crawl has become a major fixture of the Australian music industry without ever really becoming a part of it. Australian Crawl boldly explored an ‘Australian-ness’ which broke a lot of ground in the development of an Australian sound.
This year we’re excited to launch our all live tribute to Australia’s favourite sons of surf, sun and song - "BOYS LIGHT UP" – The Best of Australian Crawl & James Reyne.
Featuring unrivaled musicianship and brilliant vocals, BOYS LIGHT UP will send you on a journey through the best of Aussie Crawl from Beautiful People to classic James Reyne solo hits like Hammerhead & House Of Cards.
