About Me

Hello all you crazy Gypsies!Doch is a Brisbane based band, featuring seven passionate and exuberant urban gypsies with immortal musical abilities. They are professional, committed and unrelenting in delivering the best show at all times.The band has already generated considerable arousal in their hometown, Brisbane, receiving coverage in The Courier Mail, The Sunday Mail, City News, Time Off and various suburban newspapers, as well as airplay on Radio National and Triple Zed. They have also appeared on ABC television's Stateline. They are receiving national and international attention as a result of acclaimed festival sets, such as those at the 2003-2005 Woodford Folk Festivals, at the World Beat Festival, Cabaret Festival, WOMAD 2006, Cygnet Festival 2006, Auckland Folk Festival 2006 and The Big Day Out!Doch released their debut, full-length album ‘Chasing Grasshoppers’ in December 2002. It was launched with great fanfare at an event featuring a specially assembled 30-piece Gypsy Orchestra and is being distributed nationally through MGM Distribution.They have also shot a music video clip to “Biba’s Sorrow” which featured a professional dancer in a white lycra suit!!!!!Doch now has a live album from the 2004 Doch Gypsy Orchestra series of shows at the Brisbane Powerhouse. It is a fantastic listen and is titled "This Drink This Moon".Doch is highly suitable for parties, festivals and celebratory occasions. They work well both indoors and outdoors – providing people have room to dance. Their music transcends age and trends – making them highly attractive for general public events. They are also perfect for events that attract the dedicated music lover, with their meticulous musicality, unique arrangements and instrumentation, and eclectic musical sources.Here are two short videos from the Doch Gypsy Orchestra series at the Powerhouse 2007. Enjoy!For nice quality clips see the gurus of film, http://www.browndog.com.au/. We appear in the Woodford DVD. We are also in the process of compiling a DVD from the 2006 Doch Gypsy Orchestra show.
