Hugo Stranger and the Rattlers are so prolific that I can barely keep up with their material. They released their instrumental surf rock track “Go, Rattlers, Go!” on Halloween, and they’ve already got another tune for us, “Set Me Free.” Quantity doesn’t mean sacrificing quality for this local act. “Set Me Free” is among my favourite Hugo Stranger and the Rattlers’ songs.
“I guess it’s about wanting to be better,” explained the band’s frontman, Tom Harrison. “Knowing and being self-conscious that you haven’t been.”
Hugo Stranger and the Rattlers will celebrate the release of “Set Me Free” with a double set show at Bearded Lady in Kurilpa/West End on Sunday 17 November. It all kicks off at 2 pm and tickets are $10 at the door.
