8 Foot Felix – Gypsy Ska Funk & Sea Shanties
Friday 28 October @ 8.30pm
Open Studio – 204 High Street Northcote
$12
Maverick, whimsical and anchored tight, 8 Foot Felix’s magical brand of dancing music is crafted from gypsy, ska and funk roots, spiced with the salty taste of sea shanties and vibrant splashes of hip hop and blues. Every gig is a journey that frays the fabric of time and space and stirs the crowd to their soles – getting them moving with a life of their own! From stirring beginnings in 2011 in Melbourne’s boho epicenter – Open Studio in Northcote – 8 Foot Felix have charted a course across the globe, playing in San Francisco at Burning Man in Nevada and in Honduras in their debut year. Festival gigs at Rainbow Serpent and Eclipse 2012 then opened the door to a 2013 UK Tour with shows at Secret Garden Party, Wilderness and Boomtown Fair. Since then their annual headline slot at Rainbow Serpent Festival’s Playground stage has seen them elevate their festival offering to new heights year after year. 2015 saw them spread this joy to Far North Queensland’s Bushweek and Psyfari in NSW. However, intimate bar and pub settings also continue to play a crucial part in the Felix’s live offering, and Open Studio regularly welcomes them home, along with a heaving crowd.
