Ukulele Death Squad @Berninneit

The planet's 'most dangerous ukulele band.'

Their name more than hints at the level of menace and peril contained within. Luckily for you, they are largely armed with several examples of the miniature, titular instrument along with their epic vocal performance, pulsing conga-led rhythms, and of course, their big, bold brass battalion ready for combat.

The death squad wields their instruments like master marksmen, hitting their target every time using their arsenal of gypsy jazz, R&B, and folk. There is a strong sense of showmanship, theatricality, and raucous energy in their live shows that has gained international recognition and critical acclaim at The Adelaide & Edinburgh Fringe, WOMAD (Adelaide), WOMAD (UK), Boomtown (UK), Dranouter Festival (Belgium), to name only a few.

'It's like Tarantino met a traveling mariachi band and injected them with the punk ethos of The Saints and added flashes of folk & flamenco. World music has never sounded this funky.' – Scenestr Magazine.
