From Australia, the rock ‘n’ roll icon Tex Perkins brings his band, the Fat Rubber Band, to Alicante for a live show in the Music Room scheduled for Wednesday at nine in the evening.

The Fat Rubber Band has embarked on a fresh circuit through Spain, a carefully timed set of seven dates that serve to introduce a new studio project to audiences while also delivering the band’s well-loved energy. The group is promoting a new CD titled Other World, a ten-track collection conceived in the studio and aimed at expanding Perkins’ sonic vocabulary. The disc features ten songs laid down in a dedicated recording session, with Matt Walker serving as a longtime collaborator and trusted ally in both songwriting and production. The work, released earlier this year, presents eight original tracks complemented by two interpretations that sit alongside the core material as thoughtful additions. The centerpiece themes mix resilience and optimism, with the chorus of the album emphasizing an emotional propulsion that fans have come to expect from Perkins. (citation: Alicante concert listing)
In this creative voyage, Perkins blends hard rock with country ballads and blues-inflected rhythms, yielding a sound that sits somewhere between rugged guitar textures and melodic storytelling. The latest musical endeavor by Perkins, known for projects like The Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon, Thug, Tex Deadly and the Dum Dums, and Tex, Don et Charlie, carries a vinyl release that has become a prized possession for collectors and new listeners alike. The album nods to a vintage lineage, drawing inspiration from early electric guitar pioneers of the fifties, including references that nod to Link Wray, while presenting a modern, punchy production that suits contemporary audiences. The discovery of certain archival elements by Matt Walker adds a layer of archival intrigue to the project. (citation: Alicante concert listing)
Perkins and Walker brought in a thoughtfully selected rhythm section for the project, inviting bassist Steve Hadley, drummer Roger Bergodaz, and percussionist Evan Richards to record the ten tracks that shape the album. Their collaborative chemistry anchors the record, lending it a loose yet purposeful feel that fans of Perkins will recognize and appreciate. The process reflects a balance between spontaneous live energy and studio precision, resulting in performances that feel immediate while maintaining a polished finish.
