Sam Sparro Heads Back To Australia In July

Sydney - Oxford Art Factory - Wednesday, July 16

With his debut single Black and Gold crash-landing in the UK charts at #2, Australian born-LA based Sam Sparro has announced he is taking on the world and this July Good Vibrations Festival presents Sam Sparro’s live, Future-Funk experience in two very exclusive shows!

These past few months, Sam Sparro’s live shows have been taking Europe and American by storm, either as a regular guest of Mark Ronson or as a headlining artist in his own right. This is the first opportunity for people in Australia to see Sam’s amazing full band - and a minute or two on Youtube will confirm this is going to be an outstanding show.

Indeed it is a phrase tossed around often, but in this case Sam Sparro is truly the name on everyone’s lips. Why is Sam considered the next big thing? It could be his multifarious musicianship - he writes, performs, produces and arranges of all of his own material. It could be his scale defying, soulful voice that dips from bold and beautiful to low, sultry and slow. It could be his masterful grasp on melody - Sam knows a killer chorus when he hears one. Or it could be his style which is something like London glam meets Parisian fashionista…

Truly one of a kind, there’s nothing about Sam you won’t like. Cool, creative, iconoclastic and cutting edge, Sam Sparro is undoubtedly about to strike gold. Make sure you’re there before the rush.

What the folks have been saying:

A turbo-charged amalgamation of Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, The Gossip, Earth, Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder.

-The Guardian

It’s unquestionably the single of the year…

- BBC

What a song: a smooth disco track to transport even the dirtiest of indie kids suddenly into a fantasy world of riding horses bareback on the beach at sunset.

- NME

Damn, that white boy can sing!
- Chaka Khan
