With their trumpet, banjo, ukulele, and a thrumming double bass, Flap! creates a big nostalgic sound which takes us back to the 1920s. The Victorian jazz quartet will release their sophomore album A Great Day for the Race in April.
The lead single “Rock in Space” is an irresistible toe-tapper with dreamy vocals and a gorgeous speakeasy feel to it. It sets the scene for an album which breaks the mould.
Flap! will be busy this year, with A Great Day for the Race’s release backed by a national tour followed by a three-month stint in Europe. However before all that they’ll treat their local audiences to two very special album pre-release shows. Victorians can catch them at Ruby’s Lounge in Belgrave tomorrow night, followed by a show at Northcote’s Regal Ballroom on Friday. Be there or be square!
