Ukulele is dead. We have killed it and taken its place. Behold the maniacs that wield the ukulele as an instrument of chaos... although they're all actually quite lovely people. Beyond their penchant for the dramatic, this eclectic octet of singers and musicians are pioneers and philosophers, asking their audience the questions that really matter, like what if a classically trained Brazilian guitarist picked up the smallest stringed instrument known to man? What if the saxophone player was forced to play drums and grew another limb to dazzle audiences purely out of spite? What if 3 of Adelaide's most powerful and raunchy singers combined forces to bring you the spectacle of a lifetime? And will someone please explain who ´Gergo’ is and how he managed to emerge from a tangle of strings and cables to deliver one of the most heartfelt ballads this side of the Pacific? Meet Ukulele Death Squad, the band no-one can define, but everyone wants to see live. Like modern day bards, their dark humour, raunchy stage antics and heart-stopping ballads have mesmerised audience from their humble beginnings at Adelaide fringe, through to the debauched summer festivals of Germany and beyond. If you're lucky you might even catch a bizzare sax solo or sing along to a sea shanty favourite. Do yourself a favour. See them. Release your inhibitions. Become the silliest and boldest version of yourself.
