Backsliders (band)

The current line up consists of guitarist/vocalist Dom Turner and drummer/percussionist Rob Hirst joined on alternating nights by either Ian Collard or Joe Glover on harmonica.

[citation needed] In the early 1980s, Dom Turner and harmonica player Rex Hill began gigging around Sydney as an acoustic blues duo.

[citation needed] As both Dom and Pete were fans of Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band, Jim Conway was contacted as replacement for Rex.

[citation needed] Throughout the 1990s the band continued on the touring circuit as well as playing a number of residency gigs in Sydney, including the Rose Shamrock and Thistle Hotel in Rozelle.

[citation needed] After meeting at a 1996 recording session Dom became friends with drummer Rob Hirst, who was asked to join Backsliders.
