Thanks so much to everyone who came along to The Darling Harbour Jazz and Blues Festival and made it such a great gig. Check out some videos of the gig on this page and on Youtube.

August 6th will see a triumphant return to an excessively busy gigging schedule with a weekly residency at The Mac and a big support slot for King Farooks last show ever (yes very sad) on the 21st of august at The Gaelic club.

September will see some north coast action so get ready all you north coastys.

Also... The Bakery will be coming to Melbourne in the end of the end.

Serving up a heavenly cocktail of musical styles, from funk to swing, afrobeat to ska and beyond, the music of The Bakery is catchy, soulful, energetic and powerful. Their live show is a feast for the senses– crazy costumes, wild onstage antics and irresistibly danceable songs. An amazing live band, beautifully infectious music, the best party hosts in town.

Hot from The Bakery
This live Sydney band really cooks on their debut studio album

When you are crackling hot live, recording in a studio must be a labour of love. It's paid off for this Sydney 11-piece band. They've only been around since 2006, but already know what makes the hearts of fans beat fast. The music is a blast of horns, keys, guitar, bass, drums and percussion, ska, soul, swing, reggae and drum 'n' bass. Energetic ska-fuelled beats drive 'Handsome Young Devil". The two female vocalists provide the perfect mix for the driving soulful grooves of 'Way Back', the opening track. The arrangements are tight, the rhythm section keeps the beat pumping, and there is some extraordinary soloing - everyone pushes to the limit in this debut recording. I'm sure that their live 'neo-orgasmic-soul-funk-jungle-party-core' tag will always be intact. We all have a universal need to groovem and The bakery make great music for loving and dancing, a CD you can listen to again and again.
