Kimosabe

The act

Three 45 minute sets of 1950s and 60s rock and roll, played by a Perth band who clearly love the source material. Kimosabe pull from Sid King and The Five Strings, Chuck Berry, Link Wray, Earl Hooker, Fats Domino, Ronnie Love, Benny Joy, Sonny Burgess and Trini Lopez, then put a modern edge on it. Expect Carl Perkins' Your True Love, I'm Ready, Come On, Say Mama, What'd I Say, Comanche, Great Balls Of Fire and a good run of Eddie Cochran. Rockabilly, blues and country all get a look in. PA and lighting can come with them, and a small stage helps, though it's not a deal breaker. Parties, weddings, dances and hoedowns.

Good to know

What to expect

Three sets, 45 minutes each, all of it 1950s and 60s material. Kimosabe play rockabilly, rock and roll, blues and country, and they play it hard rather than politely. This is the era when the songs were built to be danced to, and the band treat them that way. The spread is wide enough that you're not hearing the same shuffle for three hours, and the energy holds up across the night rather than peaking in set one and coasting.

On the day

Ask and they'll bring the PA and lighting with them, which covers most venues that don't have their own rig. A small stage is their preference. It's not a condition though, and a clear patch of floor works if that's what the room gives you. Let them know which you've got when you enquire so they can plan the load-in around it.
