Lyre Byrdland 2017

LYRE BYRDLAND

10-piece afro-funk sensation Lyre Byrdland have been melting down clubs in Sydney for the past two years and are now ready to take their mix of Nigerian afro-beat and tight funk to the Heritage Hotel as part of their first national tour. With a four-piece horn line-up featuring some of Sydney’s grooviest masters of brass and a powerful rhythm section that never stops moving, Lyre Byrdland has honed their distinctly modern sound to get your heart pumping and your body moving.  Drawing inspiration from the greats of the genre such as Fela Kuti and The Daktaris as well contemporary powerhouses Daft Punk and Snarky Puppy, Lyre Byrdland’s sound is both reassuringly familiar like a comfy old sweater but strikingly fresh like a new pair of jeans.

 

Supports

ENTER THE JAGUAR

11 Piece Freaky-Funk-Disco Machine. Rich Funky beats coated with 80s reminiscent synth, exhilarating guitars, smooth bass, magical sax and colourful group vocals. A new wave of funk that delivers raw, intense, rainbow energy unlike any other. Prepare to Enter the Jaguar.

 

SUB-TRIBE

Sydney's most exciting new dub-fusion project. Melding bottom-heavy grooves with soul-funk, rubato riddims, bluesy licks and harmonic vocals that elevate, SUB-TRIBE cater to the rhythmic reveller. Exploding on to the scene in the summer of 2016, their epic touring support of NZ heavyweights, Salmonella Dub, left crowds grinding for more!
