Biography
Sheelanagig's unique blend of Balkan Folk Mayhem has been a firm fixture on the festival circuit for many years. Equally at home on festival stages, music venues and street corners the band have developed a devoted following with their energetic and irreverent live performances, combining elements of story-telling and street theatre with intricate and irresistibly danceable music.
Sheelanagig are touring the UK throughout the summer in support of new album'Cirque Insomnia', their fourth release and the first to feature original songs alongside the band's trademark manic instrumentalism.
"High octane stuff.........Would liven any party and keep the floor full... " fROOTS
"...a vitally energetic and full sound...brings the Yiddish Rude Boys out onto the dance floor... " The Living Tradition
THE CROOKED FIDDLE BAND
http://www.facebook.com/crookedfiddleband
The Crooked Fiddle Band are based in Sydney, Australia, and formed in 2006 through our mutual love of the energy and intensity of various traditional world music.
Whilst writing and arranging, they discovered that this energy was shared by the other music they love: there seems to be a common thread between the frenetic accompaniment of gypsy, klezmer and punk rock; between the twisting rhythms of math-metal and balkan folk; between the clear tonalities of Scandinavian folk, Celtic folk, and cinematic post rock.
All these influences went into the mix, but what came out was The Crooked Fiddle Band. The sound we love is dark and often driving, but also writhing and ecstatic. They've jumped around with whirling crowds at festivals, bars and dirty warehouse parties throughout Europe and Australia and also played their more cinematic sounds in the Opera Theatre of the Sydney Opera House.
This music they've sometimes called'chainsaw folk' even though they're pro-conservation but others have called it'14th century Romanian metal', 'thrash folk', 'whirlwind gypsy' and even'what Sepultura would sound like if they provided the soundtrack to a hyperactive version of O Brother Where Art Thou. ' So whilst the search continues for a name for our genre, we're mainly concerned with making music with melody, energy and intensity.
