Edit history

The Befores originally hail from Hollywood CA and are currently performing across Australia, playing to bewildered audiences and resentful bar staff in a series of small to mid-sized venues, trashy pubs, unreserved buskers spots, and occasionally mixing it up with a smattering of command performances for wealthy shut-ins and spoiled pets. Their unmistakable sound features an eccentric mix of vintage and popular modern music reinterpreted in the rockabilly swing style, with strong stylistic influences from surf music and the spy soundtrack songs of the late 50's. Their shows are an odd mix of the vaudevillian and the bacchanalian, providing an evening of reckless abandon for all invoved. And for those who are able to remember it the next day, a reason to shake one's head for months and years to come. Their current tour is entitled "A Musical Stagger Down Memory Lane", and features kitchy restylings of old and new favourites from stars like Tom Waits, Elvis, the Monkees, Johnny Cash,
