Rhythm Hunters are excited to be bringing their infectious dance grooves back to the Blue Mountains for another special show in Katoomba at the community hall (the old library) on Saturday, May 13.
A dynamite force in world roots music, adored for their frenetic drum choreographies and infectious dance grooves, Rhythm Hunters bring cutting edge physical percussion, western horns, Asian flute, deep grooves and electro beats, making them one of Australia’s most exciting and in demand festival acts.
Rhythm Hunters have played alongside acts such as Nahko and Medicine for the People, Evermore, Blue King Brown and The Melbourne Ska Orchestra.
“Rhythm Hunters shone and inspired, the intensity of the drums, combined with the poetics of dance and martial arts was irresistible,” wrote Lisa-Maree Botticelli (Australian Stage Online).
Supporting on the night is local electro-acoustic four piece Sonori. Formed in Katoomba, Sonori was the result of the unlikely convergence of an effects loving classically trained cellist, a post rock guru and an electronics junkie.
Beginning life as an instrumental three-piece made up of looped cellos, guitars/keys and drum machines, they were then joined by an eclectically influenced singer taking their original compositions to a whole other level with an extensive set of lyrical themes and versatile singing techniques.
They quickly discovered that their individual skills and complimentary differences blended with their shared passions and friendly natures, resulting in a musical style which fulfilled the promise of something special and unique.
Rich with soaring and shadowy vocals, thick layers of sound, and pulsing beats, they have been described as cinematic orchestral experimental journey music.
There will be bar facilities available for the purchase of beverages and food and hot drinks available from the Bliss Beat Curry stand.
The show is at Katoomba Community Centre, 81-83 Katoomba St, Katoomba. Doors open 7pm. Tickets discount pre-sale $20 online: http://tix.yt/rhythm-hunters-katoomba. Kids under 13 are free but must be reserved online.
