EMMA HACK'S CABARET

9pm 11-12 June
5pm 13 June
9pm 15-19 June
9pm 22-26 June

Internationally acclaimed body artist Emma Hack, joins this year's Adelaide Cabaret Festival as our resident visual artist. Winner of the World Body Painting Championships, her instantly recognisable and astonishingly intricate works include celebrities on magazine covers, in fashion parades and corporate events, and feature in private collections nationally. Emma will paint a select few of the Cabaret artists to reveal their Cabaret personae through wild and wonderful body art, drawing out their characters and then painting them back on. As the Festival progresses, the Kool Kat Club will host an exhibition of the resulting life-size photographs, which will be available for purchase.

Emma will even be painting live in the Kool Kat Club! Check the Club for dates and times. It just goes to show... anybody can be a work of art!

Come see artists turned into art!

SALLY FORD & THE PACHUCA PLAYBOYS

10pm 11-12 June
6pm 13 June

'Pachuco' means flashy, sharp or snappy - which describes Sally and her 6-piece classic Cuban combo from Melbourne perfectly. We're talking bolero, cha cha cha and salsa roots. Fun music that drives you onto the dance floor and won't let you go. Followed by DJ Chico

 


 

SOUZI AND THE COOL MINTS

10pm 15 June
Get an earful of minty freshness as sultry Souzi Wilson leads this respected Adelaide band through a couple of pumping sets of rhythm 'n blues and funky grooves. As a special Festival treat, the Cool Mints pack has gone eight-piece with more horns plus Dave McEvoy on piano and organ. Cool! Followed by DJ Brad

 


 

REALITY CREW

10pm 16 June
Get a dose of Reality Crew and its crossbred bunch of jazz, Latin, funk, soul and hip-hop flavoured originals along with bastardisations of well-known favourites. Starring Eddie Perfect and Tim Michin on vocals and whatever falls to hand, James Richmond on percussion and Enzo Ruberto on double bass. Followed by DJ Brad

 


 

ZOOMA ZOOMA

10pm 17 June
It's nothing to do with Mazda. Zooma Zooma was formed as a tribute to Louis Prima, the doyen of Italian/ American jazz, who had hits like Just a Gigolo (long before David Lee Roth) and Angelina (long before Jolie). This spirited Las Vegas-style 50s romp blends cabaret/jazz/Italian folk songs/ jump band rhythms and a huge helping of humour. Test drive today. Followed by DJ Brad

 


 

SUPERNOVA

10pm 18 June
SuperNova teams the music of Earth, Wind and Fire, who fused the styles of rock, jazz, blues and gospel, with the songs of the incomparable Stevie Wonder. Top shelf, powerful vocals and harmonies from Peter Noble and friends are backed by a tight and dynamic funk rhythm section and a four piece horn section led by Robbie Chenoweth. Followed by DJ Tom Abbot

 


 

BRAZZA

10pm 19 June
You won't be able to control yourself when Brazza unleashes a stage-full of Adelaide's finest Latin musicians into its sizzling set of samba, salsa, mambo and hot, hot, hot Latin jazz. Don't just stand there, dance you fool! Followed by DJ Brad

 


 

CRUISIN'

10pm 22 June
Local South Australian band Cruisin' is a six-piece ensemble with a fresh, vocal-driven mix of jazz, blues and pop. Call them eclectic. Which means they play everything from Cole Porter to Massive Attack and include their own compositions to boot. Bring your ears as well as your dancing shoes. Followed by DJ Brad

 


 

LUCIFER'S LOUNGE

10pm 23 June
Sell your soul and dance with the devil as Lucifer fires up the retros and touches down in the lounge from Hell. Love Boat, Big Spender, Music to Watch Girls by... is nothing sacred any more? If you think the dance floor is hot, you should see what's underneath it! Followed by DJ Brad

 


 

ANDY & THE ROCKITS

10pm 24 June
'redneck jazz'. Get hip to their trip, daddy-o. The kings of cool are back and boppin'. These 50s fiends have got the pop, swing and jump blues blaring and the big hair and sideburns flaring. You're gonna be jumpin' and jivin' till you can't no more! Followed by DJ Brad

 


 

PASTEL VESPA and her muchachas

10pm 25-26 June
Take a ditzy Brazilian cocktail singer (played by the fabulous Fiona Thorn). Add some ice and a shot of hot latin rhythms. Pour into a tight dress and mix with the absolutely first class musos known as Muchachas for a comical cocktail of musical mayhem. Waiter, I'll have what she's having. Followed by DJ Fiona Scott-Norman
