Details

Warumpi Band originated in the Aboriginal settlement of Papunya in the central desert region of the Northern Territory in the early eighties. The band’s name derives from the honey-ant dreaming site located near Papunya. Original founding members were Sammy and Gordon Butcher (deceased), Neil Murray, George Rrurrambu (deceased), assisted by other young fellas in the community. They toured the Northern Territory and Kimberly region playing to communities, outback stations and isolated townships developing their unique sound and writing much of their material on the road.  They inspired and accompanied Midnight Oil on a month-long tour of Aboriginal communities in 1986 and recorded their sophomore album “Go Bush!” on their return.  “Go Bush!” includes the tracks from “From The Bush” and the original version of the indigenous anthem “My Island Home”, most famously covered by Christine Anu. “My Island Home” went on to be nominated for ARIA Awards ‘Song Of The Year’, won APRA Awards 'Song of the Year' in 1995 and was listed in the APRA Top 30 Australian songs of all time in 2001.
