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!

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.
