Electric Harp pouring out psychedelic melodies over stylin
atmospheric grooves woven with soulful vocals, laying down a lushly
funky, dark and sparkling, cinematic brew.
Harper Kayt Wallace with her 36-string Electric Harp is joined by Stephan
Beattie on Bass/Guitar & Damien Jones on skins. Kayt intrepidly explores
the sonic possibilities of our ancient friend the Harp, often articulating
tones quite outside the traditional expectations of how a Harp should
sound. With a solid rhythm section thrown into the mix the Flumes pull a
fat live sound, transcending genres and crafting highly original, ear
tickling tunes.
Springing from the sultry depths of North QLD, the Flumes are currently
based on the Sunshine Coast. Equally at home on festival stages or
intimate venues, The Flumes have performed at soirees and festivals
including; Woodford, Island Vibe, Kuranda Roots, Winter Solstice,
Yungaburra, Eumundi Live, Palm Creek festivals, their support slots
include; Stringmansassy, Sarah Mcleod and the Violent Femmes. The
Flumes have also been known to lend their music to stage, screen and
pyro-theatre.
The Flumes are currently touring their 2011 EP “Swell”. Five blissful tracks
recorded primarily at Studio B (Gold Coast), with vocals and mastering
done at Pix Records (Sunshine Coast), The Flumes ventured outside of the
relative comforts of their home studio, and made their most
accomplished recording to date, tracks 1 & 5 of which have been awarded
“Highly Commended” in the Queensland Music Awards 2011.
