Thursday Balkan Boogie with TYDE & Greshka

Swing into the fabulous "It's Still a Secret" on Montague road for a delicious cocktail, some nibbles and be blown away by bombastic beats, silly segues and phenomenal French um music. And lots of alliteration.

TYDE brandishes a rich soundscape that ebbs and flows between jazz, prog, pop, funk, and folk. The Brisbane majority female 8-piece have a truly genre-fluid sound, combining percussive finger-style guitar riffs, funky bass and horn lines that'll stick in your head for days, and heavy prog moments for your head-banging pleasure. Paired with the soulful voice of front-woman Ella Belfanti, TYDE will have you both grooving to infectious hooks and trying to work out what time signature you're dancing to.

Their repertoire calls to mind artists like WILLOW, The Cat Empire, COVET, Hiatus Kaiyote, Vera Blue, and Franz Ferdinand - their energetic live show seamlessly knits this broad range of sounds together.

Have you been feeling run down? You probably have a Vitamin S deficiency. Come to a Greshka gig for a big healthy nourishing dose of Vitamin Silly. They play music from Eastern Europe, gypsy, Balkan, klezmer – and all of it made extra silly with synthesisers, cimbaloms and singalongs. Greshka play music which sounds like the contents of Spongebob Squarepants suitcase as he sets sail for Sweden. There’s snappy sârbăs, synthonic ska and Serbian-style swing. It’s incessantly sporadic, spectacularly stupid, seldom stodgy, syllabically superfluous and unceasingly exceptionally SILLY!
