The Cashews Canberra

The Gadflys headed up the Hume from Canberra to Newtown in the days when songs came in mix tapes and every day brought a new band and a different sound. Their music was as fresh then as it is now. Good News Week brought them to a national audience. Now, this new platter from the Gaddies is its own reward. Tribal rhythms and cool bass lines, T Rex on Alligator Wine vocal growls and howls, lugubrious clarinet figures flung up like water sculptures. Mongrel Jazz, that’s what Mick Moriarty calls it! Cigarettes and whisky, hot chips and a can of passiona. LOVE & DESPAIR. THE CASHEWS The Cashews – will be supporting The Gadflys with their quirky, catchy, melodious, grounded and original songs with a lingering social conscience. Identifying themselves as ‘contemporary acoustic nuts’ they describe their music as original, indie-folk because acoustic-brain-pop is too challenging a category for most people to comprehend.
