the mess hall

the mess hall are a two-piece drums and guitar combo based in sydney , australia specialising in `` raw , edgy bluesy rock . ''
the band consists of jed kurzel -lrb- vocals/guitar -rrb- and cec condon -lrb- drums/vocals -rrb- .
the band often find themselves being compared to the white stripes but kurzel expresses otherwise . ''
`` when we started to do our thing there was no white stripes around .
a lot of people i 'm influenced by are a lot of old poor guys from the mississippi who just play really honest and a dirty sort of blues .
that 's where the mess hall come from .
we really never set out to be a two piece .
it was just something that worked out that way '' '' .
