Thursday Balkan Boogie
Event description
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.
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!
Amelia and the Grizzly Band is musically well groomed. The experienced, 7-piece band craft modern, yet classic-sounding, original songs, reminiscent of the Motown era. With lush, jazz harmony and soulful vocals, they are sure to leave you with a garden of earworms. Hitting the Queensland music scene in 2024 after a long hibernation, you can see them on their upcoming Queensland tour this Autumn. Rare sightings can be made in Brisbane (It's Still A Secret) on the 28th of March, before they migrate up to Pocket Sessions Festival and Airlie Beach, before returning to Bribie Island's Jazz and Shiraz festival on the 13th of April. Tickets available at the venue
