Big Name, No Blankets celebrates the phenomenal journey and impact of Australian music icons Warumpi Band in an epic rock musical.
Known for their anthems Blackfella/Whitefella, My Island Home and Jailanguru Pakarnu, this extraordinary story is inspired by Warumpi Band’s rise to the top through their politics, presence and potent rock ‘n’ roll riffs.
Founding band member Sammy Tjapanangka Butcher (deftly played by Baykali Ganambarr) is our charismatic narrator of an adventure which weaves intimate storytelling with the band’s unforgettable song-list of ‘80s hits.
Discover how Sammy (lead guitar) and his two younger brothers, Gordon (drummer) and Brian (bass), went from jamming on a flour drum in Papunya in the 1970s to wild nights of pub rock and touring the world.
The first rock band to sing in Aboriginal languages, Warumpi Band greatly influenced the likes of music greats Yothu Yindi and Coloured Stone.
