  Sunday 25 March 2012 8.00pm Booking No. 25 $26/$21 Phoenix Public House Doors Open: 7.30pm TRUCKSTOP HONEYMOON Hollering with all their heart over a five string banjo and a doghouse bass, Truckstop Honeymoon live the life they sing about. Touring across three continents with four kids and a truck load of songs, Katie Euliss and Mike West tell stories about the strangeness of everyday life. Their music combines elements of Midwestern bluegrass and old New Orleans jazz, spiked with vaudeville wit and showmanship. The duo relocated to Kansas from New Orleans after the 2005 flood and their latest CD, "Steamboat in a Cornfield", shows the influences of both the Kansas prairie and the Mississippi delta. "Tales of cheating spouses, bad attitudes, short -change romances, endless asphalt and dodgy diners, all told with a "psychobilly" sense of playfulness, ringing banjo and a bass as certain as a highway centerline."

Now they're (nearly) grown up and have fine tuned their 5 part harmonies and unique style for their original and traditional repertoire that roves from bluegrass, old-time jazz, and country blues to whatever else they may just happen to fancy. ??The Perch Creek Family Jugband are a staple at music festivals across Australia, including the Woodford Folk Festival, Mullum Music Festival, The Tamworth Country Music Festival and many more. In 2010 they appeared on the ABC TV show Spicks & Specks, before jetting off on a three-month tour of Europe taking in Germany, Switzerland, France, England, Ireland and Scotland where they were a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.... Featuring Australia's top one-legged saw player, Who magazine's 'most handsome jug player', and more (equally notable) siblings than you can count (where do they keep getting them from?), the PCFJB sing and dance their unique music to young and old. > Find out more: Facebook | MySpace Check out one of our other concerts:
