Hindley Street Country Club (HSCC) is an Australian cover band formed in 2017 by Adelaide musicians Constantine Delo and Darren Mullan. The band performs live and online, leveraging social media audiences on YouTube, Tik Tok and Facebook.
History
HSCC was established as a project by producer and multi-instrumentalist Darren Mullan and bassist Constantine Delo. Their goal was to create live versions of songs that are popular with Australian audiences. To achieve this, they collaborated with notable live musicians from the Adelaide music scene, often forming a band of up to 12 musicians. The group would record re-imagined covers of popular songs, rehearse the songs three or four times together, and then record in one take and upload them to YouTube every Friday at 5pm.
The Hindley Street Country Club derives its name from Hindley Street in Adelaide, South Australia, a location where many members of the group performed at various venues during the peak of the street's live music scene in the 1970s, 80s and 90s.
In 2020, HSCC’s videos gained substantial traction on YouTube, resulting in nearly 987,000 followers and approximately 567 million views. In 2022, Dennis Dunstan (Fleetwood Mac, Air Supply, and Men at Work) was hired as band manager and in the same year, the band was signed to American record label, Renaissance Records.
In 2024, the group travelled to Singapore to perform at the Singapore Grand Prix and in Manilla.
As of January 2025, the band has over 1.19 million subscribers on YouTube and continues to tour across Australia and the USA.
