Rufino and the Coconuts
CENTROTURIST
Friday October 25, 7pm - 9pm
(Doors 6:30pm)
A tropical musical explosion is set to go off Friday October 25 as Rufino and the Coconuts launch their debut album Centroturist taking audiences on a wild island-jungle questInspired by classic surf and Caribbean music, with a touch of 80s post-punk, smooth jungle disco and a pinch of B-Grade thriller soundtracks, the rocksteady rhythms on Centroturist promise tropical bone-shaking good times.
The Coconuts are one of the most dynamic and entertaining live acts in Australia combining theatrical concepts with a wild energetic rock show and an 8-piece band to stir-you-up onto the dancefloor! With humour, exhilaration, celebration and a pervasive mood of jungle intrigue, Rufino and the Coconuts are the fullest and finest of live experiences.
Sailing on a raft of sixties guitars, eighties synthesisers and a box of souvenir-junk percussion, Centroturist is entertaining and ridiculously wry, telling stories of Caribbean dentists, jungle misadventures, cray fishing and near-death love affairs, all delivered with a deadly backbeat.
The LP will be available on Vinyl and CD - FOR THE FIRST TIME at the show!
