The Fender Benders

The Fender Benders first formed in 1998 as a 5 piece band but for the last 9 years has been performing as a trio or as a four. They have performed all over Australia, from 50 seat public halls, to 5000 seat outdoor amphitheatres.

They play predominantly classic 50’s & 60’s rock & roll & rockabilly but will throw in the odd swing beat, jump blues or even original tune.

Their reputation is one of being a fantastic dance band, making sure that every song played will keep the toes tapping and the hips shaking all night long.

After a night with the Fender Benders, you will come away with sore feet, great tunes in your head, a laugh in your heart and a smile on your face. The Fender Benders love to entertain and will guarantee your night is memorable.
