About Me


"Think Amelie meets a group of Greek renegade musicians that hook up with Spanish Gypsies"
The Dwarf.com
"Sultry vaudeville"
Time Out Magazine, London
"Rapskallion rings with old-timey magic and circus madness"
Lisa Dib
"Better then The Who"
St Jerome
Straight out of Brunswick’s bohemia come Rapskallion dressed in their decrepit finery, singing songs of the open road, blue stone alleyways, fruit falling from the trees and the seven seas, Rapskallion, reminiscent of 20's Paris Bohemia transported to a Romanian tavern and then set adrift on the high seas. The Skallions defy explanation with a glint in their eye and a dagger in their teeth. Add a pinch of hip hop, vaudevillian sensibilities, a curly moustache and a startling array of hats, Rapskallion will inspire with their mix of quirky lyrics and rustic, rowdy and romantic accordion driven dance tunes!
