Nganana inma warani Pitjatjantjarangka munu English nguratjara munu tjukurpatjara. Nganana ngura Utjula nguṟu Alice Spring la wilaṟara nguru ngaruna kuwarikutju pitjangu inmainkakitja.
We are a young up and coming band out of Utju, west of Alice Springs. We plan to make you stop, listen and dance to our incredible sounds. Having grown up together nestled in the beautiful mountains of Utju, us fellas have been heavily influenced by the sounds of our music hero’s, the desert, our language and culture. We sing bilingually in both Pitjantjatjara and English about our families, culture and our land.
We make music look easy, bringing together 9 talented young musicians to create a sound that demands the audience to listen and dance. Having grown up together we have always played music with one another. In 2022 we officially formed the James Range Band, our first big gig was playing at the Ghost Gum festival in Mparntwa, more recently we have supported Paul Kelly and the Floodlights, along with playing at the 2024 Wide Open spaces festival. Along with being joint winners in Music NT best Rock Song category with your song ‘James Range Band’.
It’s exciting times for us and the James Range Band project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
