Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes are a soul band from Melbourne, Australia that formed in 2009. The band is fronted by lead vocalist Clairy Browne and backed by Camilla McKewen, Loretta Miller and Ruby Jones (The Bangin’ Rackettes) along with Peter Bee (guitar), Jules Pascoe (bass), Gabriel Strangio (keyboards). The band's debut album ''Baby Caught the Bus'' was released in Australia in 2011 and in the United States by (Vanguard Records) in 2013, and features the lead single "Love Letter". Clairy Browne featured on the Paul Kelly lead 'Merri Soul Sessions' recorded in February 2014, singing vocals on two tracks. ==Formation (2009-2011)== The band originated in early 2009 when Clairy Browne approached bassist Jules Pascoe to help her put together a band for a show she was developing for Melbourne Rhythm n’ Blues club night, Sweet Jelly Roll. Pascoe and Browne had previously played together in ''Jacket'', a hip hop band (2002-2004). The original lineup consisted of guitarist Peter Bee, Camilla McKewen, Simone Page Jones, and Clairy's sister, Natalie Browne, as backing singers and dancers (The Rackettes), saxophonist Darcy McNulty, guitarist Matt Witney (who later in 2010 left to join Mama Kin), Gabriel St. Gabriel on and drummer Nick "Ricky" Martyn. Receiving strong reviews from this first show, the band went on to play to a sold-out crowd at the Forum Theatre as part of Melbourne Festival and to tour around Australia in support of The Cat Empire. In 2010, the band wrote, recorded, and independently released a five-track EP which featured the song "Bats", a collaboration with Martin Martini, a cover of Little Ann's "Lean Lanky Daddy", and three other original songs. The band's live show quickly earned a reputation for being dramatic, fun and highly visual with their choreography and costume, taking them to many large festival stages across Australia including The Big Day Out, Perth Festival, Adelaide Festival, Golden Plains Festival, and Falls Festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clairy Browne & The Bangin' Rackettes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
