Le Fleur are coming to Canberra’s Smith’s Alternative  for the first time to celebrate the release of their debut E.P and perform a monumentally amazing show. Joined by local legends East Row Rabble we can guarantee this is a gig you won’t want to miss!

Le Fleur are Melbourne's ultimate hybrid of funk, pop, acid jazz and west coast AOR. Their live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the most high energy bands on the scene known for their catchy hooks, infectious grooves and fusion solos. If you can last a whole Le Fleur show without dancing, you may need to check your pulse.

Formed with the intent of bringing Acid Jazz back to the Melbourne music scene, Le Fleur have grown into being a song driven machine. Band leaders Leilani Le Fleur (vocals) and Bud Wilkins (guitar) have a strict vision of bringing the styles of their favourite groups from the past (Prince, Steely Dan, Jamiroquai, Rufus, Toto) and merging it with a fresh, modern sound.

East Row Rabble delivers a slick mix of funk, ska, blues and soul with heavenly horn lines that will get your booty shaking and your feet shuffling. Addressing a mixture of world issues and daily curiosities, Ben Drysdale’s songs explore the many, varied, and often conflicting elements of any situation with honesty, hope, and a little cheekiness.

“East Row Rabble is a classic styled big band that would’ve fit right into the 30s and 40s in America, as we tried to dance our way out of the Great Depression.” – Caleb Alexander, The B-Side Guys (US)

“It’s catchy but still has an edge to it, and it’s great to hear a band producing this type of music” – Jane Howkins, York Calling (UK)
