Event Details

Vaudeville Smash are a synth heavy, sax laden, bass induced journey. A contemporary reworking of the early 80s funk/boogie scene.

Since their first gig at Fitzroy's Bar Open in September 2009, VAUDEVILLE SMASH have carved their own niche, building a formidable following in their hometown of Melbourne and around the world. Having just returned from an incrediblysuccessful Woodford Folk Festival, where they played six stellar shows, the band hit 2016 running, with a slew of summer gigs and the release of their sophomore album in August.

VAUDEVILLE SMASH's international adventures have seen them sign with Japan's P-Vine records, after returning to Tokyo and the Sapporo City Jazz Festival in July 2015 for the third consecutive year, where they also filmed the video for their latest single RICHTER SCALE. Other notable mentions include playing the South by South West conference in Austin Texas twice (having been invited back), shows in New York, Tokyo, Singapore, Toronto for Canadian Music Week, main stage at St Kilda Festival, the Australian Open Tennis, and selling out the Corner Hotel for the launch of their Album Dancing For The Girl.

May 2014 saw another exciting chapter in the eclectic VAUDEVILLE SMASH story, with the release of their world wide smash, Zinedine Zidane. The single, featuring the voice of Australian soccer, Les Murray, quickly became a viral hit, garnering over three million youtube views, and was featured in some of the biggest publications on the planet, including Billboard, ESPN, Eurosport and the BBC.
