LOCO LOVE and THE FURRY CARDIGAN
Duo / Trio · Based in Byron Bay
About this act
Fifties, sixties and seventies songs, played in what this Byron Bay duo call their Nouveau Retro style. Both are multi-instrumentalists, both sing lead, and the harmonies are the point. The choices are the interesting part: alongside Brown Eyed Girl and California Dreamin' you'll get Accentuate the Positive, Brand New Key, Big River and the odd Smothers Brothers oddity, so the set covers gentle ballads, quirky singalongs and proper groove dance numbers. They read a room and shift accordingly, from background music to full audience engagement. They'll use your PA or bring their own, including a mic for your speakers, and can run on battery power for remote spots. About an hour to set up. MC work, parody and comedy songs written to order, and DJ music between sets are all on the table.
