“Imagine a Balkan brass band woke up in a field at a bush rave and decided to join in the fun.”

Joe Gould – The Crooked Fiddle Band

BIOGRAPHY

Dry as it may be, the Central Victorian bush has grown The Seduceaphones, a party making gipsy-brass beast. Creating grooves that move crowds in completely new and unusual ways, they pioneer an infectious vein of Balkan- brass-fusion.

Their shows at MOOMBA Festival, Lorne Falls Festival and Rainbow Serpent Festival have invariably left the crowd gasping for breath. They have also shaken the stages at The Castlemaine State Festival, Eltham Jazz Festival, Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival and the list goes on. Their debut album Muskrat was released at the Night Cat in 2019 showcasing their Balkan ‘Eurotrash’ sound.

Their early homemade ‘Bush-doofs’ launched them the Melbourne music scene where they quickly developed a cultlike following. They were soon selling out venues, though at the time they were mostly underage themselves. The bands Balkan Brass influence has made them popular with Ex- Yugoslavian diaspora, flying across the country to perform at weddings and parties.

“White Hot.”
