Obscurities of the Prayerbabies
Spreading lemon-butter harmonies over
toasted guitars, with double-choc bass and
drums on the side, the magnificent four – Ian
Birdwheel-Frights, Paul Dalby, Dan Harvey and
Nick Thorpe concoct a heady brew of country,
blues and gospel, washed down with a snifter
latin, disco, rock, pop and whatever else
happens to be on offer at the time.
Whether performing at a festival with 30-voice
gospel choir South of the River, administering
and overdosey-doh to a crowded inner-city pub;
or luring party goers of all ages onto the dance
floor, The Prayerbabies inevitably win over their
audiences with their sly humour and previously
inconceivable arrangements of oddly familiar
songs.
