Mulga Bore Hard Rock




Meet Mulga Bore Hard Rock. The six-piece band of family members from Akaye (Mulga Bore), two hours northeast of Alice Springs who had the shock opportunity to open for KISS on their Australian tour.  The principal of Mulga Bore school lets them rehearse every day because it keeps them in school.  “In our school we use (music) as a centre for our literacy and university programs. This is what they love doing, this is what they're good at, this is what they want to do in their life. I believe in positive environment. If your students are happy and passionate about something, my advice is to run with it.
