About this concert
Local legends Caravãna Sun are stoked to kick off 2019 with imported German Beerhall Kings - LaBrassBanda to bring you The Horn Haus Party 2019.On stage for over 3 hours colliding Sun Kissed Indie Surf with Bavarian Horn punk, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to catch both acts at the peak of their powers across Australia in March 2019.Having only previously been to these shores once before, LaBrassBanda is a wild mix of modern Bavarian folk music, ska, punk, techno, reggae and, of course, brass.Fast, energetic, and fiercely regional, The seven band members represent what Bavarian dancehall music mingling and partying with different cultures from all over the globe can sound and look like.They gained nationwide popularity when participating at the Eurovision Song Contest preliminaries in 2013 and their breakthough album “Europa“ smashed into the top 3 in the German charts.Since then LaBrassBanda have gone on to dominate the festival circuit every single year, selling out Munich’s 12,000 seat Olympiahalle and touring the globe from USA, Zimbabwe and of course Europe from the UK to Siberia.Caravãna Sun have enjoyed a massive 2018 playing to thousands of people across the globe and off the back of the game changing singles Beauty & The Pain and Come Back from the Silver Linings EP.Reflecting on how this tour concept came together, Singer/ Guitarist Luke Carra says,“We met Fabien from LabrassBanda backstage over a couple steins of lager at a small Austrian festival in 2015, since then we have become great friends, they have taken us under their wing and we have played over 30 Beer Tents & major open air festivals together.”“This tour is a chance for us to return the favour and we are super pumped to travel Australia, teach them to surf & explore our beautiful home land.”Talking about the interplay that has developed over the years, Luke mentions that the integration between the 2 acts will be a key part of the stage show for this tour. “Whilst touring in Germany together, LaBrassBanda would jump on stage & join us to close the night. So the idea was born that we should create a concept show for this Australian tour which will be relentless celebration of the best aspects of both bands – However we’re still unsure how they will go bringing their lederhosen into Australia”Tickets are onsale from www.caravanasun.comCaravana Sun is Luke Carra (guitars, vocals), Ant Beard (bass, vocals), Alex Dumbrell (drums, percussion), and Ken Allars (trumpet, keys).LaBrassBanda is : Stefan Dettl - lead vocals, trumpet.

Caravãna Sun Biography
CARAVÃNA SUN performed biggest crowd at Bluesfest 2022 with over 10,000 in attendance at the main stage
Luke Carra (guitar/vocals) Ant Beard (bass/vocals) Chris Smithson (keys/vocals) James Smithers (drums)
Sydney/Byron Bay collective CARAVÃNA SUN release their third studio album ‘Burning Palms’ today. The electrifying 10 track album, written and recorded all within the past 2 years includes an eloquent ode to companionship, ‘Charlie’, the intensely personal song ‘Stella’, the dreamy rock odyssey ‘Afterlife’ and their uplifting new single ‘Leave It Behind’.
Although their new album was written whilst on tour in Munich and Lisbon, ‘Burning Palms’ is an album that sees CARAVÃNA SUN return to their roots and find appreciation in nature as it
was recorded in a secluded space deep in the heart of the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia. Sonically the album lives and breathes in a way that means they could play the songs live, and is a celebration of the band’s longevity writing and performing together for over a decade.
“Collaboration was a key aspect as Chris Smithson ended up tracking a lot of the bass guitar parts and Ant Beard would swap over to keys. With many different influences, we ended up with a collection of songs that was truly necessary for us to write, given the pandemic. It was a truly cathartic and important record for us and saw the four of us as artists grow and redefine the creative cogs that turn Caravãna Sun behind the scenes. All of these songs were driven in such a way that meant we could play them live. For Caravãna Sun, the live connection has always been at the core of what we do and were super proud to be bringing these songs to the global stage”
Accompanying the electrifying & heartening single ‘Leave It Behind’ is a nostalgia-tinged music video, filmed around the stress and suburbs of the Sunshine Coast, before the band hit the stage with iconic Australian act The Cat Empire. In anticipation for the crowd that awaited them, the band wanted to capture the nerves, excitement, revelry, and passion in all of its glory. A refreshing rebirth after months & years of rescheduled & lost touring opportunities.
“We shot the video in the back streets of Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast, right before our show with The Cat Empire. We wanted to capture that pre-show energy. The way anticipation and excitement can evoke a sense of excitement and gratitude for what we do. With over 6000 people in the crowd, we knew we would capture something special.”
Produced by CARAVÃNA SUN, and mixed by Andy Lawson (Death By Denim, Eskimo Jo, End of Fashion, Little Birdy) at Debaser Studio, Perth with additional mixing and engineered by Ian Pritchett at Laketree Mountain Studios, Blue Mountains, ‘Burning Palms’ showcases the band’s heartfelt introspective songwriting talent as they wrote and arranged every song on the album.
“After 10 years as a band, we’ve felt that no matter the music, the vibe of wanting to make music with friends always comes first. If we take care of each other, the music takes care of us.” CARAVÃNA SUN
Since 2011 up until early 2020, CARAVÃNA SUN are known for their dynamic live performances and energy and have toured Europe, playing over 300 shows/festivals/open airs in Europe/UK. Highlights include Boardmasters (UK), Headlining Madness (NL), Summer in the city (Germany), Boomtown (UK), Reggae Sun Ska (France) to name a few. They have toured with iconic artists Madness, UB40, The Cat Empire & Fat Freddys Drop and have built up quite the reputation beyond the sunny shores of Australia.
CARAVÃNA SUN has not only cemented their place as a standout band across the world, but also shown no signs of slowing down. Signing with Berlin’s Embassy of Music and joining a heavyweight roster including Björk, Moby, and fellow Aussie acts Ball Park Music. As a result of their extensive touring schedule pre-Covid, the release of the album ‘Live in Germany’ was only natural, extending their live show from audiences of over 5000 people to listeners around the globe.
They’ve also had success with their hypnotic tune ‘Whale Song’ which was featured in the global award winning documentary, ‘Seaspiracy’. It was a major success across Netflix with over 200 countries, which led to ‘Whale Song’ hitting one million streams - an increase of 250,000 streams in 2 months - and even hit the trending charts in the UK and Germany.
2022 is shaping up to be the band’s biggest year yet and fans will be delighted to know that
their new album will be supported by a tour. “We’re super excited to take this record on the road. With shows around Australia & over 2 months of shows booked throughout Europe & the UK, we’re beyond ready to bring this live energy back to the people.” CARAVÃNA SUN
PRAISE FOR CARAVÃNA SUN
“The Sydneysiders' third album is a sonic treat. With a solid backbone of rhythm and the loose tag of surf rock, their songs contort themselves in a variety of styles.”
Sydney Morning Herald
“Charlie’, the first single of the year for Caravãna Sun, sees the typically ebullient band get vulnerable, if still uplifting.”
Music Feeds
“It's a brilliant track that really captures the group at a new peak, teasing their forthcoming material with some of the best work they've put out to date.”
Pilerats
Beauty and The Pain: “Existing fans of Caravãna Sun will not be disappointed by this new offering, as it shines a light on their lovable knack for catchy indie-rock”
The Rock Pit
“Caravana Sun are at their buoyant best on this new jam. It's vibrant and full of hooks and charm and I'm going in again for sure.”
Declan Byrne, Triple j
“It’s March 2020. We’re all stuck inside. And though that’ll hamper this hard-gigging band from getting out amongst their fans, I gotta say that they’ve dropped this song at the right time. Takes you away to somewhere expansive and sun-caressed.”
Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J Unearthed
