We are in Sydney right now. Saturday we went to a free festival uniquely named "The Sydney 2008 Festival". We all had a lot of fun. Music for the kids, origami, playing in the fountains, etc. That night the festival setup four different stages where bands played from 7-11pm. Abby and I stayed and saw Pink Martini play. They are from Portland Oregon and are definitely worth a listen. Twelve members to the band, drums, guitar, cello, shaker thing, vocals, and a few other instruments I have forgotten. During the set they sang in French, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, and English.
They have somewhat of a lounge feel. Their music is very instrumental with a dash of big band and a tablespoon of multiculturalism. Check them out and let me know what you think.
