The Lagernauts formed in 2012 by a group of like-minded musicians with the intent of performing rock and blues cover songs at local Hervey Bay and surrounding venues and functions.
Always entertaining and energetic at their live shows, The Lagernauts rapidly developed a solid fan base around the Fraser Coast and continue to impress and engage audiences wherever they play.
April 2013 saw The Lagernauts compete in the local inaugural Last Band Standing Competition where 24 bands were carefully selected from a list of the Fraser Coast's finest acts. The Lagernauts made it through to the semi-finals of this competition as one of eight bands to compete for a spot in the final. The band played the first 3 of their original songs during the heats and finals of this comp and are currently recording a 4 track EP of original rock and blues to be released later this year.
Then came the innagaural Fraser Coast Music Fest in May 2013 where The Lagernauts were a crowd favourite amongst the stellar line-up which included The Fraser Coast’s Dogwood Crossing, international artists The Bobkatz and Gold Coast heavy hittingband The Midnight Antics.
The Lagernauts are available for hire for all occasions including festivals, private functions, pubs and clubs.  The band consists of Marshall Nuttall - Bass, Robbie Staff - Drums, Jimmy Hudson - Electric Guitar, Doug Edwards - Lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica.


Billy Hill requires little introduction. In the past two decades this 44 year old superstar’s career has been up and down many times, having his seemingly endless low and high points constantly splashed all over tabloid magazines for years. His battle with  alcoholism, bad boy attitude, short fuse and womanizing ways occupying most of the singer’s publicity with little room left to focus on the amazing talent for song writing and live performance that Billy possesses.
“Broken Spoke Saloon” a song inspired by the area that Billy grew up in, shot to the top of the Wonglepong Country Music Charts in mid 1994 holding out both Drake Lake’s “I shot myself in the foot again Ma” and Big Bob Fingleton’s “How can I love you if you won’t lay down” for the number one spot throughout the entire Winter of that year.
Billy calls himself a stogie lighting, whiskey shooting, horn tooting, shit talking, red-necking, beer-swilling, junk-punching, lamb-eating, polyester-wearing, lawn-bowling, flamingo-dancing, woman-izing, super-starring, shit-kicking honest bloke who is really just very mis-understood, but most people that really know Billy think he’s just a c#*t and refer to him as the asshole that puts the c#*t into country music.
Love him, or hate him, he just never seems to go away.
