A seven headed musical beast.
Brisbane/Gold Coast super band, Cheap Fakes, are the ultimate party band. Mixing up deep bass, Big fat horny horns, smooth melodies with super sweaty drums and atmospheric guitars.
What to expect live: a fresh, powerful sound with layers of syncopated rhythms, intense beats, catchy songs, tasty harmony and powerful horns put together with style. Take a journey with the band through highs and lows, feel the tension and then let it release as the music makes you a slave to the rhythm. These guys can flow like Fat Freddys, are intense like Radiohead, can tear your heart like a break up or punch you in the face like Tyson.
With each members tastes and influences so varied and individual the boys surprisingly bring it all together in a coherent blend of funk, pop, ska, jazz, reggae and rock
Along with an insanely tight live act, Cheap Fakes also have a back catalog of gold. Starting with 2010’s ‘Stones & Sticks’ with it’s schizophrenic mix of pop, reggae, surf hits and moving into 2012’s ‘Hand me downs’ featuring the coastal favourite summer anthems ‘Sand on the beach’ and ‘Sleeping on the floor’. 2015 saw Cheap Fakes explore the possibilities of the big recording studio/big name producer (John Merchant.. Michael Jackson, Bee Gees, Lenny Kravitz) with excellent results and all lead to the 2017 masterpiece ‘Deep Space’ produced by the legend Scotty French at Love Street Studio on the Gold Coast.
