The Maccabees

"There's no way you could deny the urge to rip up the dancefloor, thanks to their outrageously huge tracks and their involvement with the audience."

"The Maccabees proved to be one of the finest UK indie live acts you can have the pleasure of seeing currently."

"Bright and beautiful indie rock, the simplicity shouldn't be dismissed."

"It was a great performance from a band with a youthful sound and look, and who strut that thin line between innocence and arrogance."

"Painfully shy, Weeks addresses the crowd stating it’s their first-ever time in Australia amidst loud cheers from the punters, but much of his between-song banter is quiet and indecipherable. In contrast, guitarist Hugo White has the rock posturing, hair flailing about moves down pat, wearing his sensuality on his sleeve while Weeks keeps his in check."

Bunbury Groovin sold out.

Bullying is the key to The Maccabees success, boasts band member Orlando Weeks. In fact, he reckons the band is made up of five "really brilliant" bullies.
