Roy Mackonkey
In
1997, four young Darwin musicians gave life to the band known to us as
Roy Mackonkey. Within a year they headlined the Top End's Australian Music
Day concert and gained national radio airplay after recording an EP 'The
Quality of Meat' with then Triple J producer Chris Thompson.
Roy has shared the bill with a vast array of bands including,
The Henry Rollins Band, Grinspoon, Dissociatives, The Superjesus, Magic
Dirt, The Cruel Sea, Jebediah, You am I, The Living End, Painters and
Dockers, Even, 28 Days, Mark Seymour, Motor Ace, Mental As Anything, The
Screaming Jets, Slim Dusty.
Winners of the National Campus Bands Competition Territory
finals and 4th place in the National Finals.
Jim Beam National Campus Bands Competition Review
The Northern Territory boys win my 'band most likely
to get flogged on Triple J' award and I mean that in every good way possible.
I kept thinking 'WWF meets rock and roll.' For the record, Roy Mackonkey
is frickin' cool… Keep an ear to your radio dial - if there is any justice
in this world, Roy Mackonkey songs will be blaring out of your car radio.
