We love BONJAH, from their origin story, their drive and ambition to their huge achievements as an independent outfit, it’s hard not to admire this hard working four piece.
Forming in 2006 as four guys armed with nothing but guitars, backpacks, and one-way tickets from New Zealand to Melbourne, the guys struggled to find a gig, so they set up and played on the streets, selling albums and living off weet-bix and canned peaches. It didn’t take too long for people to cotton-on and before they knew it the band had shows booked, toured extensively and built a loyal following earning a reputation as being a hard working and explosive live act.
Nine years on and BONJAH have sold over 25,000 records independently, sold out shows around the world, played many major festivals, had over 750,000 views of their triple j Like a version, released three acclaimed records that topped the indie charts, toured with The Who and enjoyed multiple award nominations. Today they’re premiering their explosive brand new single ‘Burn’ and with it a small handful of new shows. Check out the dates below and visit www.bonjahmusic.com for more info.
