AUSTRALIA'S LEADING
SUPPLIER OF CORPORATE & SPECIAL EVENT ENTERTAINMENT
AUSTRALIAN DJ / BAND COMBO
THE BOOGALOO CREW
BASED:
Sydney, Australia
Boogaloo
beats to move your feet, Live covers and bootlegs, beat mixed and remixed
with DJ + Live Vocals, Sax & Percussion for an eclectic, electric show.
Styles: From up-tempo house and breaks, to down-tempo funk and
soul.
There are covers bands that serve up the predictable karaoke belters, and
then there is Sydney’s Boogaloo Crew. Few bands have the talent or
tenacity to ignite dancefloors with a heady mix of Stevie Wonder, Blondie,
Jamiroquai, Madonna, Funkadelic, Santana, Tears for Fears, Kelis, Pink,
Basement Jaxx, Armand Van Helden, Stardust and more…
There’s singer/MC Meg Drummond, commanding the audience from the front –
she was signed to Network/Universal at 17 with Seedling and has headlined
parties up and down the East Coast and overseas; Andre Kaman,
percussion/vocals, who was born on the tropical island of Sri Lanka where
he was brought up on a healthy music diet consisting of everything from
Elvis to Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles and even Frank Sinatra; Jay Cee, on the
saxophone, the horn of all horns, a horny hunk with all the right junk,
who also plays with funk rock band King Farook; and Sydney-born,
Spanish-bred DJ/Producer Abel el’ toro on the wheels of steel, synonymous
with Sydney’s party scene from day one, producer/remixer to the stars and
skilled in using his vast collection of samples and loops, coupled with
scratching and cutting to bring together the sound of The Boogaloo Crew.
