Returning for its long-awaited 24th year this November, the Peninsula will welcome the likes of beloved Brooklyn, NY-based Daddy Long Legs, described by Rolling Stone Magazine as “like Chicago blues fired at the moon, played by the demented children of the Pretty Things”, along with Australia’s own blues goddess Mia Dyson on her return from the US.
Cat Empires’ musical maestro Felix Riebl will perform his new album Everyday Amen which is set for release on the eve of the Festival, whilst rapper producer/ multi-instrumentalist Joelistics guarantees new dance floor moves and San Lazaro, a tribe of long-lost Latinos with backgrounds from Chile and Uruguay to Cuba to Catalonia bring the hip shaking Latin vibes.
The high energy eight piece funk and reggae sensation, Andrew Gurruwiwi Band have honed their chops on the beach at Birrtjimi and in the dirt of Yirrkala and write real funk jams in their native tongue, which will introduce QMF audiences to their unique and truly fresh Yolngu Funk sound, a style only hinted at previously on the impossible-to-find pair of 7-inches cut by George Rrurrambu & Birdwave. Just like King Stingray and Baker Boy before them, the Andrew Gurruwiwi Band are the next hot musical act to burst out of Arnhem Land.
