The Melbourne Gypsy, Balkan (& Russki) Bash Too!

After touring internationals acts thru early January, UL returns to one of it’s favourite small venues, gypsy bar & creperie ‘Open Studio’ in Northcote (Melbourne) on Saturday Jan 31st, for an East European knees up disko! Ohpah!

After the November 08 party we presented, it was evident this particular tangent fitted well with the crowds and atmospheres of this fine cultural space. bP (Finnish sympathiser), Vulk Makedonski (Curse ov Dialect) & Russian Disko (Ang Fang) dropped party sets at the last one, and return alongside Vulgar Boatman from legendary act Vulgargrad to bring down the house with a stack of russki criminal songs to bring a tear or five to your eye, alongside the balkan bangers.

Aindrias de Staic brings his trans-european mix of beats, gypsy violin, irish-gaelic skat raps and general hyping of the crowd to the party. Ex-Brisbane flautist and clarinetist Kieran R drops dubby infused melodies and French vocals, alongside the Macedonian raps of the one and only Volk Mak. Percussionists and other musicians are sure to join this mad capped lineup!

Tune into Mondo Electrico on PBS 106.7FM this Friday Jan 30 from 10pm till midnight to hear preview sets and random ramblings from above artists and selectors…
