Downrazoo

A five to seven-piece lineup with male and female vocalists gives this Sydney retro funk, dance and soul covers band its range, with everything played live rather than sequenced. Three years as the resident Saturday night act at the Italian Forum's Mancini's Supper Lounge included regular theme nights built around Halloween, Hawaiian and 70s-and-80s programming. Other venues on the history include the Sofitel Wentworth, the Strathfield Hotel and the Hellenic Club of Canberra, spanning both weddings and corporate bookings. Ballads, dinner music and full dance sets all sit within reach of the same lineup, offering several musical moods within one booking. The song list draws on soul and R&B staples such as I Will Survive, Respect and September, alongside selections including Maria Maria and Natural Woman.
