April Sun in Cuba, Rain and Are You Old Enough? Are staple songs in their set list and now the iconic band Dragon will look to rock the Bowral Bowling Club in October.

Founding member Todd Hunter along with the band decided they wanted to get as much out of 2019 as possible and have done just that.

"We decided we wanted to play every weekend of this year," Hunter said.

"We've been constantly touring with a lot of dates, but it's been great so far. There's nothing more fun than being in a band. We get to play a huge amount of different kinds of shows."

They may have committed to playing music every weekend of 2019, but today's touring is light work for the rock 'n' roll veterans.

"Back in the day it was pretty bad touring," Hunter said.

"It was quite an industrial, cut-throat, heavy cigarette smoke vibe. It's much easier these days. You don't need to cart around a truck full of equipment. You can show up with your guitar, plug it in and away you go.

"The crowds these days are also much more literate. You play any of your songs and people would have heard it from TV, the internet. It's nice."

Before topping the charts with their household rock anthems, Hunter was in awe of a family member and didn't stop till he could live out his musical dreams.

"I was about six in New Zealand," Hunter said.

"My uncle had a rock band in Auckland. It was so loud and wild. I bugged the hell out of them to let me play with them. He finally did and everyone was jumping around, hanging off the roof and going wild.

"I thought, "yep, this is what I'm going to do with the rest of my life" (laughs)."

Cutting his teeth with his uncle's raucous rock 'n' roll band, Hunter moved on to form Dragon with his brother the late Marc Hunter joining shortly after its inception on vocals. Hunter reflected on the band's beginnings and seemed to appreciate his time in the band these days much more than their heyday.

"We were a bunch of idiots playing in beach side halls," Hunter said.

"One Christmas, New Zealand was about to have its first rock festival. We got on the bill and we haven't stopped since really, beside the 10 year interval.

"Back in the day it was so dangerous touring. It was our own fall of Rome. I can't really remember much good from those days. Whatever celebrity we got out of it was horrible.

"You got no privacy and couldn't go anywhere. Now, it's the complete opposite. People have complete access to the band via social media.

"Back then, bands played to the room and they got what they liked or not. Now it's like everyone in the room is in the band because every song we play, they know."

Hunter and his Dragon band mates will be playing the Bowral Bowling Club in October and he is ready to show the town a good time with some great music.

"Rain and April Sun are still the most requested to this day," Hunter said.

"We'll be playing all the songs everyone knows and also some stuff from left of field.

"This will be the first time playing in Bowral and I'm looking forward to it. I drive through Bowral and I love it. It will be excellent to finally play there."

Dragon will be playing at the Bowral Bowling Club on Saturday, October 12. Tickets are available from Moshtix.
