Crowd-pleasing mash-up duo theca Yacht Club are back after a string of manic music festival performances.
Late last year, the pair took their infectious brand of sugar pop infused with hardcore, punk and hip hop mashes on the road, selling out their national Kleptomania Tour.
Starting the 2009/10 summer festival season with a bang, the boys returned to the stage that broke them for an unprecedented set at the Meredith Music Festival. Few artists are ever asked to return to the stage two years in a row and the Yacht Club DJs did not disappoint the thousands of eager punters who packed the amphitheatre for their electric performance.
Over New Years, punters delighted in their experimental sounds at Falls Festival Tasmania and Field Day in Sydney. Crowds also flocked to see the pair as they headed west for Southbound. They recently joined The Smith’s Andy Rourke and Philadelphia Grand Jury on the Club NME Tour and are playing the national Groovin’ The Moo festival in May.
Heralded the saviours of the mash-up genre, this March the pair will emerge from playing underground club gigs and take their rightful place behind the decks in some of Australia’s foremost music venues. Prepare to
storm the stage as the Yacht Club DJs tear apart your favourite songs and smash them back together into a cleverly crafted remix.
And of course, a Yacht Club DJs show would not be complete without on-stage
nudity, crowd invasions, dancing on the decks and wild water sports, including riding the waves of the crowd on an inflatable boat. |
