Travelling Sacks

R.I.P. (5/1/07)

About Me

The Travelling Sacks are one of those rare examples where quantity has not replaced quality but, in fact, highlights the greatest elements of both.

With the core of the band having been playing in and around Adelaide since early 2002, the Travelling Sacks are a tight unit of musicians that have continued to adapt through several line-up additions and subtractions.

Over this time they have come to produce their own interpretation of what a ska band can be.

Highly energetic, fun loving and crowd engaging, the Travelling Sacks perform a high quality translation of ska incorporating such styles as metal, reggae and big band, as well as a sound that echoes the ska/punk sound of the mid-nineties.

In addition to this, the band is given further intensity with the freshness of forceful, yet delicate, female vocals.
