Overview

To see The Drums in concert is to enter into a frenetic hip shaking haze for a few hours. Once it's over you might not know exactly what happened to you. One minute you were casually sipping your beer, the next you were in amongst the crowd with limbs flailing, challenging lead singer Jonathan Pierce to a dance off. So is the genius of The Drums. It's all oh-so-simple but oh-so-fun.

The impressive success of 'Let's Go Surfing' is prime example of The Drum's infectious 1950s bopping beats. Even if you've never set foot on a surf board in your life, you're jiving and whistling with them all the way to the beach. But the now three piece Brooklyn band have proved to be so much more than the trendy surf genre they were partly responsible for reviving. Last year's hits 'Forever and Ever Amen,' 'Best Friend' and 'Me and the Moon' from their self titled debut album headed in a more soulful direction, away from the beach and into the big and serious smoke.

The Drums are now heading to some of Australia's big smokes  - Brisbane included - as part of Groovin The Moo. You can catch their live show and contagious dancing disease at The Hi-fi this Wednesday.
