The Beez. An accordion, a guitar, two voices- and a drummer trapped in a tiny red box. Bitingly satirical but eminently danceable, featuring a wealth of home-grown material from the sublime to the ridiculous, the teutonic to the titillating. And a treasure trove of bizarre and infinitely creative renditions of songs you thought you knew- Ramstein to Rogers and Hammerstein, Oils to Icehouse, newly invented.

An eclectic blend? No, it´s a dog´s breakfast- and never tasted so good. Ten years as performer for and artistic director of Berlin´s legendary Chamaeleon Theatre, Deta C.

Rayner´s commanding yet endearing stage presence and vamp-voiced accordion ooze cabaret sensibilities and is ably augmented by Rob Rayner´s breezy, sleazy rock guitar and bass baritone vocals. Rob´s 30 years in Berlin lend a distinctly urbane flavour to his already esoteric post-punk heritage.

 

After years of Berlin-based wanderlust The Beez have finally found their home in Katoomba, Australia. Whether ABC TV´s Spicks and Specks or Festivals from Vancouver Island to Woodford, Dublin to Port Fairy, The Beez deliver a dizzying pastiche of comedy and music that leaves their audiences reaching for the German-English phrasebook. The Beez- in one word? “Prost!”
