Hold onto your hats as Ungus Ungus Ungus, Australia’s premier peddlers of vaudevillian psychedelia, strap you in for a rollercoaster ride of dance and mayhem. This is carnivalesque party music for the creatively inclined, traversing territory from global dance beats to swing, jazz and hip-hop. Featuring mind-tickling on-stage antics and a bold visual presence, their cosmic circus is on a mission to make you boogie, gawp and expand your perceptual horizons.
Their fifth album, The Cosmic Carnival Part II: Ascension (2018) is the sequel to The Cosmic Carnival (2016). Both are concept albums designed to accompany their swinging sci-fi concept show that has been destroying dancefloors across Australia and New Zealand for the past five years. The most recent release sees the band venture far deeper on their exploration of vintage futurism through a fusion of rich acoustic instrumentation with electronic grooves and the familiar mix of world music, swing, hip-hop, and the sounds of the carnival.
