The Flattrakkers

The Flattrakkers are a 3 piece band that has over the last 5 years turned their genuine passion for hot rods, kool cars, racin' and ol' speedway days into their own revved up rockabilly sound. On lead guitar and vocals is Mark Hawkins, a seasoned front man with high octane adrenaline runnin' through his veins, Matt Ward is always hard at work knowing how to get the crowd going by slappin' and climbin' up on the double bass and keeping it all together is Bruce "Real Skins McCoy" Findlay pounding the drums like it's nobodies business.
