It all started with the ‘College Funk Ensemble’ – a rebellion against the typically narrow music curriculum back in high school days. Then came graduation, and the realisation that this music was just too much fun to give up on. So a new band was formed…
Dancing About Architecture cut its teeth with late night rooftop jam sessions in Brisbane’s West End. From there the band has continued to grow steadily, picking up extra players and added groove along the way. Now a 7-piece outfit, the band represents the enthusiastic youth of Brisbane’s jazz scene, playing all original jazz funk compositions…good fun music!
