Iconic Aussie rock and roll band Six and Out to make shock return – and it’s thanks to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese

Beloved Australian rock 'n' roll band Six and Out has reunited after twenty years and is heading out on tour this summer – and fans have Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to thank for that.

Six and Out, made up of former first-class cricketers Brett Lee, Shane Lee, Gavin Robertson, Brad McNamara and Richard Chee Quee, have decided to get the band back together and go on tour.

The rockers, who are best known for their song 'Can't Bowl, Can't Throw', were recently asked by the Prime Minister to play at the Marrickville Lawn Tennis Club.

'Actually, Mr Albanese's partner, Jodie Haydon, was a fan of Six and Out at the time we played, and she asked the Prime Minister if he would contact Binga to ask us to play at the 100th anniversary ,” McNamara said. News Corp.

'The Prime Minister and Binga had played a game of tennis together.

'It was the catalyst to get everything going again. It was amazing.

'It brought back memories. How much fun we had and how much we missed it all. It's amazing how quickly life passes you by.'

The iconic band had so much fun that they decided to go on tour again and are planning three shows this summer.

Brett Lee, who plays bass in the band, compared the on-stage performance to the thrill of playing cricket for Australia.

“When you hit that harmony… I liken it to bowling a perfect outswinger,” Lee said.

“I felt a lot more comfortable playing cricket because I've done it a lot more. It can be very, very nerve-wracking when you're on stage.

'It's a great buzz because you're out of your comfort zone, but that also brings a huge adrenaline rush and that's why it's so much fun to do.'

Lee, who traveled the world playing cricket, recently told of a secret room at the SCG that only legends of the game are allowed to enter.

Speaking on the Hello Sport podcast, Lee revealed the top-secret basement at the Sydney venue, which has been a safe haven for Test players since Bradman brandished the Willow more than 70 years ago.

“A lot of people at the Sydney Cricket Ground don't know – (I'm giving away a little bit of inside information here),” Lee told the podcast hosts.

“That inner sanctum where we feel comfortable, where there is no press, where we can relax and just speak honestly and openly.”

There was even a secret knock on the secret cellar to gain access.

'After the Test win at the SCG, the tradition is to get a cricket bat and tap it three times on the ground.

'Then a few minutes later you hear thump thump thump, someone from down in the basement, which means: come down to the basement.

“So you walk underneath the Australian players' changing rooms, opposite where the race is taking place and there's a little garage door.

“You walk in and it's (small), so we think it's Justin Langer's house because he fits in beautifully. And there's a door signed by every Test cricketer, I think since the 1950s.

“And it's a basement. So beer and wine, go over there and have a chat with some of the ground crew and have a cold beer with them.”
