(18 March 2011) Ahhh the wet season. Big floods all round Oz and good ol' FX cops a bit of a dose as well. Us boys just got back from a Perth/South West trip (see gig list below). A pretty busy time was had by all. Apart from some shows, and a big thanks to them Kiwi crew at the Stirling Arms Hotel in Guildford, they really looked after us, we finally managed to find some time in the studio. At the Boyup Brook gig lots of people were asking us for a copy of Danny's song, Tribute to Slim, so when we got back to Perth we recorded it. Even Managed to get Slim's guitarist Ian Simpson to play banjo, mandolin and the dobro. Our manager wants us to release the song as a single in time for a gig at Tamworth next year, but who knows, Xpress by name, not necessarily by nature. Have a good one!!

Fitzroy Xpress is a performing, touring and recording country rock outfit, which first hit the road in 1982.
Having endured the slog that accompanies long distance touring to take their music out to the people, these boys from the bush have developed a reputation amongst a few generations of loyal fans throughout Western Australia and more recently across state borders.
To keep with the times the band still travels regularly but they never lose touch with who they are and where they come from. For this reason Fitzroy Xpress will forever be based in their home town of Fitzroy Crossing,
which by the way is ' in the centre of the Kimberley' region of Western Australia.
It is with great pleasure that Fitzroy Xpress offer this Website to our loyal supporters.

Well...it’s a funny thing this music industry business, some say its sink or swim.
So how has Fitzroy Xpress fared?
Well part of the answer is that I guess they have learnt to tread water.
Many bands come and go but not too many stand the test of time.
Although there have been a number of line up changes over the years, original guitarists Danny Marr and Alan Mclarty never lost sight of their vision to keep the music going. Playin since 1982 is a long time in one job by anyone’s standards.
The energy level required to sustain the desire to perform time and again over vast distances, sees the boys regularly focussing their energies around relaxing and tending to family and community duties between tours. The current of band members also include their Manager Jeremy Hart, Waylon Marr on drums, the acoustic rhythm guitarist Victor Marr and bass player Daron Keogh.
