Yarra Irama

Yarra Irama bring their dang ding dut ahay, A.K.A. infectious dangdut energy to Shotkickers, Saturday October 17. Yiha!

Bringing together Indonesian and Australian musicians, this nine-piece Melbourne-based band serves up Indonesia’s beloved dance music with energetic kendang rhythms, irresistible grooves, and plenty of sing-along moments.

Blending Indonesian sounds with Indian, Arabic, funk and rock influences, Yarra Irama take dangdut from Indonesia to the Melbourne stage, mixing classics with their own originals, including “Touch On” and the forthcoming “Dangdut for Everybody”, “Hi Dangdut”, “Linglung”, and “Mantra Goyang”.

Joining them for the afternoon is Ready New Gang.

READY NEW GANG is Gamelan-fusion that only Naarm (Melbourne) could create. Adding western beats and grooves to repertoire from Bali’s famous Wayang shadow-puppet theatre, RNG blends a range of modern styles with tradition, creating music that traverses multiple sound worlds. RNG aims to reach an Australian audience more familiar with pop, rock, and jazz by adding basslines from Scott Owen (Living End) and drumkit grooves by Dave Williams (Augie March) which transform the traditional 5-tone bronze quartet into an entirely unique entity.
