Having seemingly relocated to Sydney from another galaxy, Australia's Darth Vegas skillfully merge the worlds of free jazz, swing, surf rock, carnival and even death metal to bring you an amazingly colourful concoction that could well be the soundtrack for a cult B-grade sci-fi/horror film about an opium-addicted ghost falling in love with a nympho robot. Having trouble picturing that? Think Looney Toons meets the Brothers Grimm, with a macabre Theremin-infused, brassy backing.
"You wear your influences on your sleeve...but wow, you wear them well!" - Dom Alessio, Triple J
Darth Vegas members Michael Lira and Julian Curwin are also founding members of the three-time ARIA award winning gypsy-swing outfit Monsieur Camembert.
