An amazing live band with beautifully infectious, irresistibly danceable music and an amazing visual spectacle, the best party in town.

After bursting onto the Sydney music scene in late 2006, The Bakery have quickly developed an enviable live reputation, packing out venues around Sydney and delighting festival crowds across Australia with their “exhilarating, energetic”live shows.

Their debut release 'The Bakery and The Beast' was launched to a sold out show at The Basement in July 2008, with several tracks from the album currently receiving radio airplay on a variety of stations including Triple J, FBi, ABC 702 and East Side Radio.

The Bakery takes entertainment to the next level. Contagious energy, catchy tunes and lots of fun. These exuberant, energetic performers make for the best party hosts in town – and seeing them once is just simply not enough.

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.
