Get ready to dance as TEK TEK Ensemble return to The Rails with their virtuosic and original music inspired by tropical jungles, late night discos, 1960s chic and shamanistic desert rituals.

The three guys and three girls from TEK TEK captivate audiences with exclamatory trumpet, hedonistic violins and organ, deeply pulsating drums and bass, wild psychedelic electric guitar and synthesiser, and a rich smearing of harmonised singing (and wailing) thrown on top.

Since forming in 2010 TEK TEK Ensemble have performed countless times around Australia and the world including in Jakarta, the Pilbara, Berlin, New Caledonia, Bangkok and Paris. The band has is roots in the wildness of late-night Melbourne pub music with the sophistication of jazz and classical performance, and the danceability of tropical rhythms and hard-partying disco beats.

Support comes from The NEO Trio, an irrepressible band that was born out of a naked millennium celebration. Mixing Australian soul, gypsy, funk, ska, blues and roots, The NEO Trio captivate audiences in an immersive experience that brings magic to exclusive, intimate stages or festival extravaganzas.
