Skunkhour +
Swoop

Australian funk rock royalty SKUNKHOUR are set to light up Sydney this winter with a one night only exclusive show at Manning Bar on 20 June, joined by none other than fellow groove merchants SWOOP. This rare double bill brings together two of the country’s most beloved genre blending acts for a night stacked with rhythm and nostalgia

Skunkhour remain one of Australia’s most enduring and innovative musical acts a band whose fusion of funk, rock, hip hop and soul carved out a sound that was unmistakably their own. Decades on their live shows still hit with the same electricity that made them cult heroes. Fans can expect a set loaded with favourites including ‘Up to Our Necks in It’, ‘Home’, ‘Kick in the Door’, ‘Weightlessness’, and ‘Breathing Through My Eyes.’

Joining them for this special event are Swoop, the ARIA nominated collective whose infectious blend of funk, pop and dance made them one of the most recognisable Australian acts of the ’90s. Their catalogue of feel good anthems, from the Certified Gold hit ‘Apple Eyes’ to ‘Do It’ and their unique take on the Roy Ayres classic ‘Everybody Loves the Sunshine,’ guarantees a dancefloor ready, high vibe set that perfectly complements Skunkhour’s groove driven firepower.

With both acts known for turning venues into full blown parties, this is a rare chance to see two iconic Australian bands share the stage for a one night that celebrates the unmistakable energy of live performance
