Ukulele Death Squad

Ukulele Death Squad

In a world where there are at least two ukulele orchestras, this slimmer eight-piece extravaganza from the Australian badlands declares themselves to be the planet's "most dangerous ukulele band."

Their name more than hints at the level of menace & peril contained within. Luckily for you, they are largely armed with several examples of the miniature, titular instrument along with their epic vocal performance, pulsing conga-led rhythms, and of course, their big, bold brass battalion ready for combat. The death squad wields their instruments like master marksmen, hitting their target every time using their arsenal of gypsy jazz, R&B, and folk. There is a strong sense of showmanship, theatricality, and raucous energy in their live shows that has gained international recognition and critical acclaim at The Adelaide & Edinburgh Fringe, WOMAD (Adelaide), WOMAD (UK), Boomtown (UK), Dranouter Festival (Belgium) and Roudolstadt (GERMANY) to name only a few.

They swing, they soar, they shoot from the hip. Indeed, if Quentin Tarantino ever needed a band to play during a high-body-count shoot-out in a Mexican cantina, Ukulele Death Squad should be his first and only port of call.
