The Cabarats
+ support from Dirty Cash & DJ Gypsyndicate
No genre is safe from this band! Dub-infused rhythms and knees-up ska collide courageously with eastern melodies, world instruments and infectious vocal hooks to form an alluring and energetic sound.
The Cabarats are constantly sourcing inspiration from all over the world, but have a particular passion for Reggae and Ska, as well as traditional music from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The sound is embellished with electronic samples and a uniquely psychedelic texture which segues dynamically from one style to another, often succumbing to climactic moments of heavy rock.
The ever-growing list of instruments played by these five individuals includes, accordion, outar (a custom built fretless oud-guitar hybrid), keyboards, brass, guitars, drums, pedals, synths, sirens, samplers and more!
It’s been an exciting journey so far for the band, playing at major festivals such as Boomtown Fair, and supporting some of their favourite acts including Undercover Hippy and Dubioza Kolektiv.
Strong support comes from Dirty Cash, who is a multi-genre cocktail combining elements of Swing, hip-hop, and Electro that brings a high-energy performance with a fun festival theme. Influences include Dutty Moonshine, Cut Capers, Dubioza Kolectiv, Mista Trick & Caravan Palace. Off the back of their first summer of festivals and dazzling audiences everywhere they go, if you are looking for a party and fun this is the act.
