Ukulele Death Squad

Description

Classification

Meet Ukulele Death Squad – the band no one can define, but everyone wants to see live. Celebrating the release of some rollicking sea shanty tracks, the Squad is bringing nautical nonsense inland to Queanbeyan. Like modern-day bards, these unhinged musical pirates – armed with ukuleles, brass, and questionable fashion choices – will lead a big ol’ singalong filled with pirate-inspired ballads, foot-stomping shanties, deathy classics, and heart-warming belters.

This award-winning act, with accolades from both Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe, has built a reputation as a must-see live band across Australia and Europe. Their high-octane shows are fuelled by dark humour, raunchy stage antics, and heartfelt storytelling. Alongside their shanty repertoire, the eclectic eight-piece will also deliver their signature blend of folk, soul, funk, R&B, and pop.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a landlubber looking for a wild night out, this is your chance to release your inhibitions, sing (and dance) like a pirate, and become the boldest version of yourself – for one day only.

It’s like Tarantino met a travelling mariachi band and injected them with the punk ethos of The Saints and added flashes of folk and flamenco. World music has never sounded this funky.
