The Shiny Bum Singers + Witches Leap @ The Loaded Dog

The Shiny Bum singers present Rampant Bureaucracy. 

Rampant Bureaucracy tells the (almost) true story of a failed government program (or should that be programme?) complete with political grandstanding, officious advisers, hard-working bureaucrats, consultants, cover-ups and whistleblowing. There’s even an advocacy group called SCORN and an investigative journalist.

The Bums perform the work songs of the Public Service in traditional working dress. They sometimes stray into political satire, and other life experiences such as rugby and visiting the dentist. They sing parodies and encourage audience participation by projecting the choruses for singalongs. From fire drills to audits, system crashes to ministerial interference and even office romances, no subject in the workplace is safe from their pens (or keyboards) – nor any song! They even write musicals!!
The Bums were created to perform at the National Folk Festival in Canberra in 1999 and have been performing to packed audiences ever since. This is their 11th appearance @ The Dog, their first being in 2000.
