These are Hard Times. This is the openning line to the chorus of the self-titled track on our new album which is on sale NOW! Seriously, it is available. At the end of the day we were only in the studio last year for one month. And apart from a few mix downs to get the sound just right, it was all done. The theme of the album is something we all know that goes without saying. It will be one fine day when we wake up and see the difference. Until then never forget thet Fitzroy Xpress will be out there playing our music loud and strong. We will be making sure you are dancing and singing along. With a Little bit of Country and Rock and Roll and songs that take you back to Home Sweet Home, like the cowboy that just won't get off that Rodeo Road, we ain't done rockin and rollin we've still got A Few More Songs To Go. This one is for all our friends, family and fans who have supported what Fitzroy Xpress has stood for over the last 31 Years.

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.
