Perth Music

Emerging from Fremantle, WA, Double Entendre are young, energetic and a bit different, playing a dynamic mix of acoustic melodies that blend folk rock with jazz, roots, flamenco and a good danceable beat. With four versatile musicians and a worldly muse, this multitalented band keep it interesting with bursting barbershop-style harmonies and a lot of instruments including ukulele, melodica, mandolin, sax and didge.

The band made it to the National Campus Bands competition State Final in 2004 and was later invited to tour with Mark Hoffman’s didge ‘n drum group, EmDee. In 2005, they sparked interest from London & New York based manager Mike Dixon, who is closely involved with artists such as Ryan Adams, Butterfly Boucher and The Spinto Band. The band have recently made it into WA’s Next Big Thing competition and are planning to release a debut EP and organise a tour before the end of the year.

The band are taking a dive back into the local music scene with their first major showcase at Kulcha in Fremantle on the 14th of July. Since returning from travels, the band has been working on creating more of a jazz & world influenced sound by introducing a double bass and three-part vocal harmonies. At Kulcha they will bring you a night of dynamic acoustic melodies blending jazz, folk, roots, flamenco and strong, healthy rhythm that is sure to set the dance floor on fire. As a multitalented four-piece, Double Entendre get mind and body moving with ukulele, melodica, mandolin, sax, didge and various other instruments. Supporting Double Entendre is the beautifully haunting and soulfully raw sound of NSW’s, Loren Kate.
