Antipodean Steampunk Flavoured Tunes: Juke Baritone & The Swamp Dogs

Image © Juke Baritone & The Swamp Dogs

Some of you may already know about these gents, but what the hell we're excited.

Juke Baritone & The Swamp Dogs is a six piece from Sydney, AUS utilising twelve instruments and fronted by the Juke himself. They're not comfortable with labels as a whole, their brand of music tends to defy classification, but one thing we can say is that its damned good.

Sounds like: Tom Waites and Nick Cave got drunk, smoked too much then had a fist fight before falling into a pile of instruments in a dingy vaudeville bar. It's raw, no bullshit and highly addictive.

AMRAP currently have them as a featured artist where you can listen to an interview with the Juke.

On independant release through their own record label, Bag Lady Records, the band have one self titled release and have finished a second album. However, being self funded as they are, money is tight and they could use a hand to help them in their plans for world domination. Pre-Orders are being taken and the call has gone out for major investors and donations.

Or, if you've got the cold hard cash to make a major investment email Juke Baritone to work out the fiddly bits and own a piece of something wonderful.

They're about to embark on a tour through the UK and Europe but not before playing:

• Garbage Cabaret at The Vanguard in Newtown NSW on May 31st.

• The Joynt in South Brisbane QLD on June 20th, and

• Swanfest in Ipswich QLD on July 4th.

Be sure to check them out live to wish them Bon Voyage and foist money on their persons for further megalomanic pursuits of the aural kind.
