BARONS OF TANG
Spawned from the fiery pits of Melbourne's underground theatre scene,
The Barons of Tang first performed with notorious local company
The Black Lung Theatre. With the taste of blood on their lips, a merciless
2 years of gigging followed taking them to varied locations from playing
under a bridge to the Regent Theatre, from the Cape York to Alice
to hometown Melbourne, leaving a trail of battered dance floors across
the nation. Lashing Tango, Rockabilly, Latin and Gypsy with breaks,
hard-hitting guitar riffs, double kick blast beats and massive horn
arrangements The Barons of Tang serve up their self described gypsy
'deathcore'. With accordion, double bass, saxophone and tuba to name
just a few, the 6 piece Melbourne outfit bend mainly traditional gypsy
and tango feels played in the most inappropriate and bastardised ways.
The catchy tunes and punk ethos all tie together to mean one thing,
dancing is inevitable!
"Love it or hate it you can't help but move like a madman
to it" Faster Louder Jade Monkey Live Review 2009
CROQUE
MONSIEUR Croque Monsieur are a Melbourne-based band who this year celebrate
their 10th anniversary after forming with the express purpose of playing
festive Eastern European music on the streets of Melbourne. Since
those primal beginnings, Croque Monsieur's original and adapted compositions
have slowly developed to include other genres such as tango, Dixieland
swing, calypso, 1960s film scores, mariachi and various other excursions
into the festive music of the world. The ultimate result of this long
journey into foreign sounds is a unique musicality that might even
fool a Bulgarian into thinking their national folk song is Mexican
and vice versa.
