Heads We're Dancing

A little hard to not get up and dance

Article by Naomi Velaphi | 14 Aug 2006
The cozy surrounds of the Wee Red Bar were almost not enough to contain the energy of 4 piece Australian group Heads We're Dancing. At the tail end of their UK tour the bright musicians full of character shared stories with their unique sound which combined melodies of folk and pop with heavy bass lines, up-tempo percussion and an array of electronic samples. Often described as world music you can tell they have vast influences ranging from rock, folk, electronic and a hint of reggae and funk. Although only drawing a modest crowd for their first festival show their openness and well-spirited performance effectively captured their tales of travel, love and political leanings. Heads We're Dancing played mostly tracks from their latest album Tunnel Vision (2006) covered the likes of Bob Dylan and revamped an earlier track of their own, where it was simply a little hard to not get up and dance away.
