Having released their third album Modern Vintage in 2015, Cheap Fakes are back with their new single ‘Deep Space’ and its accompanying video clip, a kaleidoscopic look into the recent single launch tour across Japan, Aus and NZ.
The snap of snare and burble of bass locks ‘Deep Space’ into a steady groove from the off, decorated with wisps of smoky vox and a raucous horn section – everything we’ve come to expect from the self-described “six-headed hydra of brass-fuelled funk, soul, and ska” (spot on, guys).
The crew have been honing their craft on the live stages of Woodford Folk Festival, Big Pineapple Festival, Island Vibe, Caloundra Music Festival and Golden Days, not to mention supporting the Melbourne Ska Orchestra and Cody ChestnuTT. Showing no signs of stopping, they’ve launched into a huge run of shows (dates below), so if you haven’t yet soaked up their raucous energy in a live setting, now’s your chance.
