Expect the unexpected.
Extreme entertainment.
Is this post-millenium cabaret, or new vaudeville?
No, it’s the National Junk Band.
And there’s nothing like it.
“Defies categorisation.” - SMH
Irreverent satire.
It must be seen to be believed.

Everything from fire, illusion, passion and satire.
Virtuosos of the bizarre.
Rhythmagicians of the saw, the tuba, the phono-fiddle, the kitchen sink, tin guitars and tin can alley.

“An hilarious revelation - you never know what you’re going to get from one song to the next” - Sarah Thomas, Adelaide Advertiser

“Hit of the festival… their CD was so good someone stole it from the ABC library.” - Robyn Johnson, The Planet, ABC Radio National

For four years the National Junk Band has had toes tapping and jaws dropping at festivals, pubs, joints, radio, and TV. With two death-defying albums already to their credit, and the music to “Badcop Badcop” (ABC TV) already in the can, they are about to kick another can - “Tin Can Alley” (their new CD due in November). A quantum leap of style and musicianship for the quirkiest band in the land.

Expect the unexpected, and still be surprised. (If pain persists, consult your analyst.)

Mention Pope Alice installation at MCA for Biennale 2002.
