Ukulele Death Squad - Daddy's Got A New Body

Music • Folk
South Australia • World Premiere

The Ukulele Death Squad have grown into a 7-piece energetic, Tarantino-influenced folk band. Their unconventional approach to ukulele has struck a chord with global audiences since forming in 2017, selling out their debut Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe seasons and winning Best Music of the Adelaide Fringe (2018).

They pack a powerful punch, blending 'hardcore' ukulele with rich vocal harmonies, thumping rhythms, outrageous solos and sensual saxophone. The ukulele driven live shows are so raucous they've been known to break not just strings but ukes as well.

With a punk-rock attitude and serious swagger, the Ukulele Death Squad are embarking on a long-awaited post-pandemic tour of Australia and Europe in 2023 with new music and the same brand of mayhem that has won them critical acclaim.

Presented by: Ukulele Death Squad

The Ukulele Death Squad (UDS) have grown bigger and better since their 2017 inception, bringing a new sense of anarchy to the humble Ukulele. The Squad bring a frenetic energy to the uke with their own flamenco, RnB and folk style. With additional performers joining in 2019, the full harmonic and titillating vocal stylings, paired with thumping rhythms, outrageous solos and sensual sax, the squad offers audiences a place to get down and dirty.
The Adelaide Fringe Award winning and critically acclaimed act have sold out show after show, irresponsibly setting local and international audiences ablaze with no intention of slowing down. Expect the unexpected and throw out everything you thought you knew about the uke – the devilish Ukulele Death Squad are coming for you.
