DIRT FEVER TOUR
THE BARONS OF TANG

The Barons of TanG
DiRt feVeR ToUr


Think a Frankenstein’s monster of traditional Irish, Jewish, Polish and Russian folk, polka and zydeco all mashed up together with a slamming drill sergeant punk brutality. it’s the exact same source that Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Grinderman, Baseball, Sailors Of Swine and Rocket Science all derive their volatile energy from. Part convict heritage, part history of organised crime, part shit awful weather and hilarious ethnic exaggeration.

Love it or hate it
you can’t help but move like a madman to it

DANCE FLOOR RIOT !!!!

Spawned from the collective nightmares of music nerds and avant-garde dance instructors, 'The Barons of Tang' want to ruin you for modern music.

The Barons of Tang hitch up their sleeves and blaze across the tyranny of distance with their scorchin Dirt Fever Tour!

Leaving a trail of bruised and battered dance floors across the nation, the Barons continue their touring mayhem and step on stages at the Karavan International Gipsy Festival starring international band Besh o droM, Adelaide Fringe, Brunswick Music Festival, Byron Bay Bluesfest and all the way out to the Pinjarra to play the magnificent Fairbridge Festival the Barons are foot to the floor ‘n burning the rubber, churning up the miles to play a stage near you!

The Barons of Tang have played a swag full of festivals, including The Falls, Sunset Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Brisbane Festival, Melbourne Arts Festival, Sydney Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, High Vibes, U Tribe and Alice Springs Desert Festival and have supported international artists such as Paprika Balkanicus, Fanfare Ciaccorlia and Gypsy Kings and Queens.

Lashing Tango, Rockabilly, Latin and Gypsy with breaks, hard hitting guitar riffs, double kick blast beats and massive horn arrangements The Barons of Tang serve up their molotov gypsy ‘deathcore’. With accordion, double bass, saxophone and Bass Clarinet to name just a few, the 7 piece Melbourne outfit bend traditional gypsy and tango feels played in the most inappropriate ways. The catchy tunes and punk ethos all tie together to mean one thing, dancing is inevitable!

The Barons of Tang have airplay on Triple J and community radio across Australia, and will launch their new EP Knots and Tangles in Spring 2010.

The Barons of Tang are now Don Carlos Parraga Garcia Rico Urunena Ijo Mal Parido: (Accordion, Vocals) Julian Cue: (Double bass, Vocals) Annie Pfeiffer: (Percussion, Vocals.): Sean Wyers: (Drums, vocals) and Aviva Endean (Bass Clarinet), Anna Gordon (Saxophone), Jules Brunton (Guitar)

Had Frank Zappa jumped aboard the gypsy bandwagon
he might have made music something like Melbourne’s Barons of Tang!
John Shand Sydney Morning Herald EP Review 18/12/08

It’s wresting on the floor of the dingy pub shirtless and feeling like shit
But wanting to keep the party going and finding ways to do it!
David Jobling Adelaide Theatre Review 2009


Tuba on the floor, shirts off, death metal punk Gypsy..
Hardcore. Dance, dance, dance..the crowd was up for The Barons from the outset!
Andrew Galan 2009 The Pheonix


“There’s a madcap element to the playing and the songs alike that makes you want to smile,
..inevitable manic 2/4 rushes towards gypsy nirvana..rooted in a rock aesthetic”

John Cale's Keynote Online

February 18th 2010 09:14

Watch and Listen to John Cale's Keynote Online


On February 15 underground rock royalty and founding member of the Velvet Underground, John Cale, cut the red ribbon for Modular and Sydney Festival's Circa 1979: Signal to Noise with a Keynote speech at the Seymour Centre.


Hipsters rubbed shoulders with electronic pioneers in a packed out York Theatre as Cale showed off a few snaps and described working with the likes of Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Happy Mondays, The Stooges and LCD Soundsystem before capping things off with a mind blowing rendition of "Heart Break Hotel."

If you missed the speech or want to listen/watch it again, ABC's Big Ideas are streaming it online.

With Jonathan Boulet’s first ever Australian headline tour kicking off this week MODULAR are celebrating in charitable style. After wooing every man and his dog with his debut single "A Community Announcement", Jono is set to release single number two, the stirring "North To South East To You" on March 15.

Not being one to muck around, Jono re-recorded a ’stripped back’ version of the tune over the weekend in his garage, and sent to us to share with you all. This version will be included on the single release, alongside the music video.

Head HERE to download it.



There's a brand new interview and part one in a series of video tour diaries for you to enjoy, posted up on the ol’ Mod Peeps for your enjoyment. Also make sure you tune into triple j this coming Friday morning around 7.50 AM to hear Jono re-work a classic on Like A Version.

Not being one to rest, Jono has set his fans some homework. At his request, the young man would like you all to bring along your own homemade rice shaker to help get the festivities going. Don’t know how to make one? No problem - download Boulet’s simple how-to guide.

ART vs SCIENCE go GOLD

February 18th 2010 08:10
Fresh from loping in at #2 and #74 on triple j's Hottest 100, Sydney's ART vs SCIENCE have recently achieved Gold status in the ARIA Charts for their the eponymous debut EP (out through Green/MGM). The Hottest 100 result also effected the re-entry of the EP into the Top 5 on iTunes and back into the ARIA Top 40. It is currently sitting at no. 1 on the physical singles chart.

Falls Lorne 2009


Released last May, the independently-released 5-track EP contains radio favourites Parlez-Vous Francais?, Hollywood, Flippers and Friend in the Field. Its performance in the charts was no doubt augmented by the three piece's scene-stealing live show, which has seen the band play at countless festivals and sold-out gigs around the country over the past 12 months.


ART vs SCIENCE have again teamed up with producer/engineer Berkfinger and are currently in the studio writing and recording their anticipated debut long-player. The album - to be released independently through Green/MGM, with label services assistance from Parallel Management - is due out in June 2010. Keep an ear out for the first single in April.

Complexions Contemporary Ballet

March 14th 2009 03:52
Unfortunately for me I was called away at interval to an emergency. A friend in need. But the first half of this show was magnificent, so I think the whole show would have been magic to see. Unlucky for me, and my friend who lost a dog until we found it, on the side of the road dead.

Very sad news and unlucky for the dog, so farewell Maxie Poodle and my apologies for not completly reviewing this show; but as I say - what I saw was truly great
