Kransky Sisters Piece Of Cake - Brisbane, Powerhouse 16-08-2013


From Abba to Pink Floyd and Beyonce to AC/DC,
these three eccentric sisters with their eclectic mix of instruments
including musical saw, tuba, old reed keyboard, and kitchen pots,
have cooked up a very special sweet and sour serving of well known
songs gleaned from their old wireless at home.
Add to this, a spicy lot of stories from the sisters’ travels,
and you have the icing on the cake. Hot out of the oven,
these oddball Queensland sisters reminiscent of your old aunties,
will leave you wanting seconds!


Yes Queensland's funnest musical export are back with a brand new
show weaving their hilarious stories with their amazing covers
of songs that we mostly all have heard.
Mine you I had no idea of what the song "all the pretty ladies"
was, I was beginning to think it was one of their own.
A quick internet search and I discovered the world of Bouncy!
Well that was educational!





There was plenty of props and tons of laughs along the way.
Audience participation for the couple of fellas who got
to become honorary Kranskys!
The Kransky Sisters feature the enigmatic talents of Annie Lee,
Christine Johnston and Carolyn Johns,
as Mourne, Eve and Dawn Kransky.
If you want to hear and see the show its at the Powerhouse
till Sunday. Meantime I have posted a few videos at the
end of this post.
I missed the incredible version of Queens Bohemian Rhapsody
which was the highlight of the evening!

Tyrone and Lesley need your help!



Tyrone and Lesley have a new project they need your help with –
to make a third album –
They're wanting to record at least part of it in an old hall they have
found and are seeking to crowd fund a modest portion of the
venture.

Tyrone and Lesley write and play songs on ukulele and double bass.
They have played to audiences of adults, children and childish adults
everywhere from The Sydney Opera House to the Melbourne Ukulele
Festival.

 Tyrone and Lesley is one of the latest projects of the immensely
talented David Megarrity whose wonderful blog is found here
You can read about some of his past projects  such as Friends of the
Iguana and the Goodbye Notes on this blog here

So check out the link below to help get this 3rd album of
ukulele brilliance!
