Introducing The Aristocrats

Exlusive to The Honest Agent

...there IS no insurance against rr-roMANce

The Aristocrats bring you luxurious & loopy Latin'n'Lounge versions of 40's to Noughties hits & repressed memories which back bona fide latin&jazz with a peppering of self-penned pearls.

Made with the double cream of Circus Oz, Prayerbabies, Checkerboard Lounge and a sweetened, condensed ilk, the debonaireheaded newcomers of The Aristocrats whip sound til it's a swaying suede sensurround scene.

Ribald and Racy Rythyms!

Lungeing Latin'n'Lounge!

The reoriginal 40's & 50's nightclub versions of “Love Cats” (Cure) , “Addicted to Love”(Robert Palmer), “ No-one Knows” (Queens of the Stone Age), “Mr. Brightside” (the Killers) and “Seguro Sabe Algo” (revived by Kiss as “Sure Know Something”) sit just so, amidst the bona fide swing tunes.

Other artists who have enjoyed success with their own renditions from The Aristocrat's pleasure trove of golden fried hits include the Eurythmics, Vince Jones, Led Zepplin, Louis Jordan, the Who, Mose Allison, Michael Buble, Brian Griffin, Dean Martin, Shirley Bassey & Bizet -

... but, be warned; the wanton Moroccan rolling of The Aristocrats was scientrifficly designed to release your inner swing burglar; the one your sense of dancin'rrRRroMAnce has been shyly guarding against for all too long...

The ensemble comprises the contratemporary vocal stylings of:
'Faust' Ian Birdwheel-Frights with the famous Framus '61 Riviera
Paul 'Stringali' Jonas via 18th century Italian violin & voce
Leo 'the lion-loined' Kahans thru white frettless Fender
335th Dan Kerr powernoodling a silk semi-acoustic Gibson
Chrisistopheles Lewis all over bowlingball-sparkly kit locked to Tim 'King Conga' Webb whilst warbling.
With seasonal sax, trombone and clarinet.

Influences??.... & as for the influences to which The Aristocrats tip their fez'z, please count Carmen Miranda, Louis Jordan, Dean Martin, Brian Griffin, Michael Buble-Pippe, Carl Orff, Kylie and Bizet among their number

...Very impressed with The Aristocrats. They brought a level of theatre and entertainment often lacking at these types of corporate events. The act kept to time and were very professional – they definitely helped make our event a great success!
