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 Shand Sydney Morning Herald EP Review 18/12/08
