Short description of your band and your music:
We are a five-piece electronic group containing a mixture of electronic pop with influential strains coming from jazz, indie, rock and dance. It includes dynamic sections all infused with a fun, dance-orientated vibe. We have a mix of electronic instruments (samplers, synths, keys), live drums, bass and guitar with an injection of saxophone and trumpet, which gives it a unique kind of energy. An all-round fun time!

What are you hoping to achieve from showcasing at BIGSOUND?
Our aim for BIGSOUND lies mainly in performing our best/honest show to a crowd that we've previously never had a chance to play to. We are excited to be performing in front of the industry delegates and festival punters and to see what opportunities may stem from it.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the myriad bands at BIGSOUND?
Our time slot is a tough one, but our unique spin on electronic music fused with saxophone and trumpet offers a live performance unlike any other. Our on-stage energy gives audiences a real sense of connection. If you've already seen Ball Park Music, come on down to Magic City at 10.30pm Wednesday to see what the fuss is all about and witness the fitness... See you there!
