National Junk Band

For the first time in 30 years, Mic Conway and Jim Conway have re-created a hot 8-piece band to present the songs, silliness and satire from the Matchbox repertoire including "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes", "That Cat is High", "Smoke Dreams", "Who Walks in When I Walk Out?", "Wangaratta Wahine" and many more. Jug band blues, political satire and lunatic on-stage antics combine as a new-vaudevillian comedy cabaret. Audiences know Mic Conway’s tongue-in-cheek style from “Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band” and “Circus Oz”. From Byron Bay BluesFest to Port Fairy Folk Festival to Adelaide Cabaret Festival… the National Junk Band have become festival favourites for their unique collision of fire, illusion, passion, irreverent satire, magic, singing saws, flying chooks, musical mayhem and some very funny songs.

Expect the unexpected as these “virtuosos of the bizarre” create a live stage experience that must be seen and heard to be believed. Wielding National guitars, ukuleles, a sousaphone, a phono-fiddle, actual garbage cans and metal sinks, these rhythmagicians will make your toes tap and your jaw drop and sides split.
