"They certainly got the crowd going on the main stage at the Fringe Sunday, having the crowd chanting for more is a real feat at a festival like ours which attracts artists and promoters from all around the world.
To stand out among the 1,867 shows in the Festival is a testament to the talent in the band and it is no wonder the initiated will want to see more and hear more" Eileen O'Reilly, Promoter Liaison, Edinburgh Fringe Festival "HEADS WE'RE DANCING (4 stars) (out of 5)
The cozy surrounds of the Wee Red Bar were almost not enough to contain the energy of 4 piece Australian band 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. It all comes together as quite an original package, one which could be among the surprise musical packages of this year's festival. 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' covered the like 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." Suzanne Mitchell, SKINNYFest (Edinburgh Fringe Festival Magazine) "Superb releases by this critically acclaimed Australian electro-global dance band; who performed at this years Eastern Haze Festival and wooed the audience with an exceptional set.

" Terry Hawke, Terry Hawke, UK CD & DVD Reviews Annexe "Taking more of a big picture attitude to their music, HWD have moved beyond the apparent expectations of the world music genre and embraced their own diversity. In unifying their songwriting approach, the members have brought their idiosyncracies to the fore, with Headspace being the appropriately titled result." Bob Gordon, West Australian "The varied faces of Heads We're Dancing appeared and grabbed the audience from the start to a packed and thriving crowd at mojo's. They enjoyed themselves on stage as they presented an eclectic set and showed off their vast influences which included rock, pop, blues and world." Mark Genge, RTRFM "A catchy, solid album of danceable grooves and hummable hooks. The performances throughout are buoyant and spirited. The songwriting is sturdy and engaging, with songs such as the powerful Southern Sky showing that the band cannot only play but whip up a good tune as well." Phil Bennett, NOVA "This group stand on their own in the WA music scene. Their onstage energy got the Place grooving immediately, with their combined energy and upbeat tunes radiating right from the word go." Saritah, West Australian Music Industry |
