After winning the 2017 Relay for Life’s Battle of the Band competition, the band recorded its first single Drive Me Crazy.

Since then, Crimson Royale has released another single, The Cure, in March and will unveil their new album titled A Year in the Minute. 

The band features guitarist and vocalist Luke Furbank, guitarist Ben Howle, drummer Jackson Howle, keyboardist Jake Parker and bassist Tom Rodham. 

Band members all attend Kelso High Campus, except for Furbank, who studies at Bathurst High Campus.

Parker said the boys are over the moon to launch their new album.

“We’re really stoked about the album, really excited,” he said.

“The mood is really crazy.”

Bathurst singer and guitarist Tameka Kennedy will perform at the gig – at 7.30pm – prior to Crimson Royale performance – at 8pm. 

The band will play all 10 songs that are set to feature on their debut album. 

There will also be several supporting musicians during the gig, with Lewis Dushea playing the trumpet, Aidan McBurney on trombone and Brooke Webb and Tiarna Brown on backing vocals.

Three of the songs were recorded at the Dotted Eight Studio in Orange and the remaining seven were recorded at the band’s home studio in Bathurst.

Crimson Royale draws in influence from modern rock bands including the Foo Fighters, the Rubens and the Strokes. 

Doors open at 7pm, with tickets available at the door for $10 for adults and $5 for children and tickets.

Tickets are also available at Kelso High Campus and at BMEC.

According to Parker, approximately 200 tickets have been – 100 through BMEC and another 100 through school. 

He said there has been some good hype building throughout the community and within the band.

“We’ve all been practicing hard for Friday night,” he said.

“Make sure you get tickets, come down and support us.”
