Formed by a bunch of down and out Melbourne musicians in 2007, The Barons cut their teeth with performances for local underground theatre and circus troupes before embarking on three years of merciless touring. Lashing tango, rockabilly, Latin and gypsy with breaks, hard-hitting guitar riffs, double kick blast beats and massive horn arrangements, The Barons of Tang served up their self-described ‘gypsy death core’ in the TelstraClear Festival Club. The catchy tunes and punk ethos all tied together to mean one thing – dancing was inevitable!
