Rockabilly vs Swing at The Troubadour

The first Robot International gig for 2009 will be the Rockabilly vs Swing night, coming up on Saturday January 17 at The Troubadour.

Melbourne’s gangster swing act Frankie Wants Outis skipping M-Town and heading up to Brisbane to launch their debut album ‘Prohibition’. Frankie Wants Out is a nine piece swing band playing original, red hot tunes guaranteed to make you jump about the room, regardless of whether you’re in a rocking pub or a classy cocktail lounge.

Forming in September 2005, Frankie Wants Out is heavily influenced by the music of the New York dance halls of the 20’s and 30’s but with a modern impact from acts such as Royal Crown Revue and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

Rockabilly fans can expect just as much energy from the intergalactic Men Into Space and the hot rod rockin’ Ten Fours. You can get all this entertainment, plus rockin’ tunes from DJ Lori Lee, served to you on a platter for just $15.
