The Aussies may have failed to regain The Ashes but this Thursday, at Hoochie, Aussie band Flap! are sure to hit a few boundaries. Their music is based on pre-war swing but with a contemporary twist. This review from Edinburgh Festival gives you an indication of what it's all about.
"Towards the end of a ridiculously easy and enjoyable hour spent in their company, Flap!'s singer and ukulele player Jess Guille described "Rock in Space' as "jazz-folk-disco' – and, you know, it kind of was. A bawdy, slap-happy five-piece from Melbourne, their root note is pre-war American jazz, but to that foundation they add ska, gypsy music, blues, folk and flickers of more contemporary styles, mixing them all together with deceptive ease. And although their defining aim is to get the audience to laugh, dance (and drink), they can really play, too." - Review from Edinburgh Festival.
What more do you want? and it's free!
