A yodellin´, thigh slappin’, lederhosen wettin´ fest of German music from The Beez’ Deta (accordion, vocals) and Rob (guitar, vocals) featuring the Beatific Beats of Julia Day on drums.

You’ll thrill to comic classics from the likes of Rammstein and Kraftwerk; you’ll tear off that dirndl and shake a Teutonic Tailfeather when you catch a glimpse of Nena´s 99 Red Balloons; you’ll swoon to Marlene Dietrich´s Lili Marlene, but wait, that´s not all!

Now those Testy Teutons have their sights set on the rich treasury of Oz Rock. As polka. In German. Wince as Aussie classics are put through the Sauerkraut mincer! Cover your ears as the likes of Barnsey and Farnsy are blitzed into polka oblivion! In The Sauerkrauts own words- “If you´re not a polka fan it’s looking really bad, ´cause this might be the longest evening you have ever had”. The Last Plane Out of Sydney´s almost gone but, regrettably, The Sauerkrauts are not on board.

Deta and Rob always felt that the German Oeuvre was a little under represented in today´s musical landscape, so here they are to make amends with an evening of dance floor-compatible Deutsche Derring-do, featuring Deta´s fabulous “Brunhilde Bass“ accordion. One octave below the conventional accordion bass, this is an Alp-quaking tone of Wagnerian proportions. Melded with Rob´s custom Höfner “Blitzkrieg“ guitar and Julia Day´s Germanic Grooves it´s an irresistible rockin’ polka machine.

Deta and Rob both hail from Berlin; their band The Beez performs regularly throughout Europe and Australia. They´ve appeared on ABC TV´s Spicks and Specks and every folk festival you care to think of.

Midnight Tea Party are a 5 piece Gypsy Dub band hailing from Sydney’s Inner West. Blending the hypnotic melodies of the Balkans with EDM, Jazz and Surf-Rock, they deliver a live set packed with party vibes.
The band’s new single “Boris The Blade” is a high energy, dancehall banger blending sub bass with Balkan brass and a psychedelic Surf-Rock guitar solo. This unique fusion of styles has been described by Happy Mag as “one of the most dynamic listening experiences we’ve come across in some time”.
Since the release of their album “Massilia” in 2018 Midnight Tea Party have played festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, Bellingen Winter Music and Gumball as well as touring up and down the east coast of Australia. Their dynamic live sets combining exquisite musicianship with party vibes is proving to be irresistible with dancing audiences.

Even though the annual Winter Magic Festival isn’t proceeding as “normal” this year, that doesn’t mean that we can’t conjure up a bit of magic and fun of our own!

Bootlegger is going all out to create a “Mad Hatters Midnight Tea Party” – but make sure that you get in before Midnight!

Put on your dancing shoes and come dressed up in the style of ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
There will even be themed teapot cocktails available to purchase and indulge in!
