Minority Sun Minority Sun is an Alice Springs band with deep connection to Arrente country. With a style based in culture, Minority Sun mixes the influences which range from mellow rock, reggae, RnB and hiphop. It is a band about family, the importance of culture and the provocation of the modern indigenous politic. Minority Sun is gritty, yet melodic, expansive but simple, earthy guitar drums and aspiring vocals that free the spirit. In 2010 they toured with Artbcak NT south to Yulara and Uluru to participate in the 25th Handover Celebrations. Outback Pioneer Bar, Yulara; 23 Oct Staff Club, Yulara; 24 Oct Uluru 25th Handover Celebrations, Uluru; 26 Oct |
