Harlequins Deliver With “Old Man River”

The press release for “Old Man River” describes it as a “groovy country song.” However, this new song from Eora/Sydney band Harlequins is so much more than that. With elements of funk and jazz, it’s just a rollicking good time. So forget about the genre labels, leave your preconceptions at the door, and just give this one a listen.

Marcus Child and Chris Bradley have been friends for 31 years but this is only their second single. You hear that experience and bond shining through this music. It’s really good stuff. If you want to hear more, you can catch Harlequins playing a hometown show at LazyBones Lounge and Restaurant on October 12.

You’ll Fall Hard for Harlequins’ “All the Love”

Sydney band Harlequins are Aussie city slickers, but they certainly don’t sound like it. Their latest single “All The Love” has a great country-soul sound that could have easily come from America’s Deep South. It sounds like nothing you’ll hear on radio at the moment, which is a key part of its charm. Harlequins is the musical brainchild of lifelong friends Marcus Child and Chris Bradley.

“Closest friends for 31 years. Except for the time one of us fell off the wagon. But we came back stronger,” they insist. “One ying, one yang. Two more different characters never cast together”.

I hear there’s more music where that came from too. After hearing this song, I’m pretty excited to discover what comes next.
