The John Steel Singers

Overview

Don’t let The Zoo’s no steel-capped boots policy break your dancing stride, because this Fortitude Valley hub is playing host to one of this decade’s grooviest music group. The John Steel Singers have come a hell of a long way since their musical – and probably spiritual – “unearthing” in 2007, with numerous albums, EPs and kicking gigs under their belts. They represent everything we’ve come to expect from anything Triple J lays their hands on, be it gigs or performers – they’re tight, groovy, have guitars and are fun to look at and listen to.

Regardless of they fact they’ve had a hard time finding a bass player, or are just terrible Gumtree'rs, The Singers are one of those bands that are actually taking bold musical steps, rather than sitting in the performed shadows of ‘genre’. And in terms of musical steps, these guys are running a marathon, and all the more reason to sprint over and check them out. Put on your grooviest outfit, pay some people some money, and get reading on how to make friends with the dancefloor to the sweet sounds of The John Steel Singers.
