Amie and the Boybirds are back to satiate your thirst for tantalizingly smooth, sassy Torch Pop cabaret!
Flame-haired chanteuse Amie McKenna fronts the set with "millisecond-perfect comic timing" and a voice “as smooth as a swing in a hammock” (SMH) that will have you hooked with bated breath.
The Boybirds drive a punchy backup led by Jeremy (King Casual) Brennan on keys, Jeremy Barnett on drums, Christian Young on bass and Ryan Gibson and Luke Joslin bringing dapper style to backing vocals.
Amie and the Boybirds’ distinctive torch-pop sound is inspired by do-wop, girl-group & jazz cabaret. Don’t miss their dazzling original material as well as unique takes on classics from Hank Williams and Rogers & Hart.
The group already boasts two sell-out seasons at Slide and Bar Me. They have made sparkling appearances at the Sydney Food and Wine Fair and The Sydney Opera House at the FBi Radio Play Competition in 2006.
Join this sizzling addition to Sydney’s hot cabaret scene for one night only at one of the sexiest, most sophisticated venues in Sydney, Slide.
The Hopetoun hotel was alight with punter interest on a chilly winter’s Tuesday night as cherry-sweet Melbourne rockers, the Basics mingled with Sydney favourites, Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers. Soulshine’s Max Easton was on the scene to keep track.
