“You might think we’re flash up here on this big stage, with big lights and big hair but we come from a little place with a big heart and a big story…”

Big Name, No Blankets cranks the amp and plugs into the heart of Papunya (Warumpi), where for the first time, we hear the stories of the Warumpi Band through the Butcher Brothers’ perspective, narrated by founding lead guitarist Sammy Tjapanangka Butcher.

Warumpi Band is the original First Peoples rock band to sing in language, known for their anthems ‘Blackfella/Whitefella’, ‘My Island Home’ and ‘Jailanguru Pakurnu’. Big Name, No Blankets is inspired by their rise to the top through their politics, presence, and potent rock ‘n’ roll riffs.
