Short Bio –

Formed in 1989, The Fargone Beauties were the originators of thrashgrass, which is the performance of classic rock songs the way they were truly intended to be – loud, electric and bluegrass style. The band released three albums, performed on countless TV shows, played all the pubs and clubs, and scared the life out of audiences at every major country music festival in Australia.

The Fargones enjoyed legendary status as a sure-fire, crowd pleasing big event drawcard throughout their earlier incarnation, and are sure to repeat the same excitement when they return to the stage at Tamworth this year.

The band recently reformed for an appearance at Queensland’s Gympie Music Muster in August 2006, leaving a trail of exhausted fans old and new queuing up to buy their new CD –

“A Load Of Old Bullocks – The Best of The Fargone Beauties” features 20 of their best known tracks including their classic thrashgrass hits Wild Thing, Hey Joe, Stairway To Heaven, Highway To Hell, Play That Country Music, Born To Be Wild, and everything else that fits.

Also, our new website www.fargonebeauties.com.au  is now live so please go & check it out.

The Fargone Beauties are back with a new CD
After an absence of over a decade The Fargone Beauties are back with a new album and website.
Formed in 1989, The Fargone Beauties were the originators of thrashgrass, which is the performance of classic rock songs the way they were truly intended to be – loud, electric and bluegrass style. The band released three albums, performed on countless TV shows, played all the pubs and clubs, and scared the life out of audiences at every major country music festival in Australia.

The Fargones recently reunited for a main stage appearance at the Toyota National Country Music Muster at Gympie in Queensland in August 2006. In an explosion of dirt, dust, beer and bodies, they laid to waste over 20,000 hard core music fans, many of which were too young to have seen the band the first time round.

The Fargone Beauties enjoyed legendary status as a sure-fire, crowd pleasing big event drawcard throughout their earlier incarnation, and delivered the same mix of musical mayhem when they returned to the stage at Gympie this year. They played all their classic thrashgrass hits including Wild Thing, Hey Joe, Stairway To Heaven, Highway To Hell, Play That Country Music, Lonesome Me, Hey Good Lookin, Born To Be Wild, and many more. A memorable night for all, and the trees are still smokin’.

Two days before their Gympie appearance the Fargs were also booked as the house band on Nine Network’s NRL Footy Show where they played the show’s theme music, play ons & play offs, and their slightly twisted version of “Play That Country Music White Boy”.

To celebrate their reformation, and to satisfy demand for their three previously released albums, all of which are now unavailable, The Fargone Beauties have released a new CD –

“A Load Of Old Bullocks – The Best of The Fargone Beauties” features 20 of their best known tracks including the classic thrashgrass hits mentioned above and everything else that fits. The track list is as follows –

Highway to Hell Ballroom Blitz
Stairway To Heaven Single Drop
Wild Thing / Bonanza Great Balls of Fire
Play That Country Music I Hear You Knockin’
Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll Oh Lonesome Me
Hey Joe She's So Fine
She's My Baby Hey Good Lookin’
Get It On That's The Way
Suspicious Minds Fat Bottomed Girls
Born To Be Wild The Last Time

The Fargone Beauties first started in July 1989 as a put together warm up band for Tommy and Phil Emmanuel.  The first night was just a duo with James and John then the next night Tommy said he would like a band as warm up so Terry joined them and Tommy played the drums.   Tommy is a sensational drummer as well as one of the greatest guitarists in the world.  The band eventually asked drummer extraordinaire Mark Marriott to join them.  The Fargone Beauties are back after a 10 year break
