FLAP!
Flap! -I is one of our most unique local creations, innovative, entertaining, intoxicating, musically invigorating, cheeky and sexy. Most of all they are utterly original in this huge and rapidly expanding world of Melbourne roots music. Featuring the voice and ukulele of the gorgeous Ms. Jessica Guille, dancing rhythms and stunning improvised solos - think Jelly Roll Morton and Boney-M meets the Bushwackers. Flap! sing songs about falling off cliffs, getting naked and being poor, as well as the universal themes of love and intoxication. With a sound that is individual, altogether Australian and specifically Brunswegian, Flap! Released their first full length CD in November 2008 to a barrage of nodding heads and admiring glances, its beauty.
