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!

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!

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

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.

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.

Al Di Meola with World Sinfonia

January 10th 2010 03:56
Al Di Meola with World Sinfonia
Touring Australia & New Zealand
from March 2010

Legendary guitarist, Al Di Meola is bringing his 6-piece Latin Jazz Fusion band World Sinfonia to our shores in March 2010. One of the most prominent virtuosos in the contemporary instrumental jazz field, Al Di Meola’s dazzling technique on both acoustic and electric guitars is unmatched, extending to fluid arpeggios flying at breakneck speed and beautiful, slow vibrato-laden melodies.



The tour commences in Perth and extends through NSW, Queensland, New Zealand, Tasmania, South Australia and ACT. Provocative and enchanting, Al Di Meola’s intriguing union of complex rhythms, lyrical melodies and sophisticated harmonies ensures an unforgettable aural sensation.

Known for his guitar mastery, Al Di Meola has twenty one recordings, three gold albums and has recorded and played with a number of illustrious names including Paul Simon, Phil Collins, Santana, Luciano Pavarotti, Jimmy Page, Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa, Chick Corea, Steve Winwood, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Jaco Pastorius, Les Paul, Jean Luc Ponty, Steve Vai, Milton Naciemento, Egberto Gismonti, and many more.

Early in his career Al Di Meola was bestowed a Grammy, as part of Chick Corea’s Return To Forever. He has been voted World’s Best Guitarist several times by Guitar Player Magazine and has had sold out concerts across the world including Bulgaria and the United States.

Al Di Meola’s finds inspiration in music cultures across the world including sounds from Argentina, Brazil, Israel and the Mediterranean and in acoustic genres such as flamenco and the tango. The depth of his writing along with the soulfulness of his guitar expression have won this guitar virtuoso legions of fans worldwide, having played over many years to sell out shows across Europe, Canada and his native USA.
Of Di Meola, Guitar historian Robert Lynch said: “In the history of the electric guitar, no one figure has done more to advance the instrument in a purely technical manner than Al Di Meola. His total command of the various styles and scales is simply mind-boggling.”
