Ukulele Death Squad – Baby Don’t F**k With Me Tour – Adelaide
Sat 19 Oct @ 7:00 pm
Fresh from a tour in Germany, Ukulele Death Squad are heading back to their spiritual home of Adelaide as part of their national ‘Baby Don’t F**k With Me’ tour, celebrating the release of their new EP.
Renowned for their explosive live performances, they’ve garnered international acclaim. They have performed for audiences at festivals like the Edinburgh Fringe, WOMADelaide, Woodford, WOMAD (UK), Boomtown (UK), Bardentreffen (Germany) and Dranouter (Belgium), Rudolstadt Festival (Rudolstadt) while also clinching multiple folk awards, including South Australia’s Peoples’ Choice Award 2023. Over the last 12 months, they’ve taken their eclectic sound from Berlin clubs, to British drum and bass festivals, and regional RSLs across Australia.
Their forthcoming release blends folk and R&B, boasting addictive hooks and an unparalleled level of groove. With tunes that traverse a unique soundscape of circus soul, hip-hop, and heartfelt ballads, their musical versatility knows no bounds. Characterized by chaotic and undeniably fun performances – imagine Quentin Tarantino setting the scene in a Mexican cantina with Ukulele Death Squad providing the backing track. Brace yourself for an exhilarating showcase of showmanship and musical mischief!
