Conrad & the Barbarians is a collection of young, so very like, barbaric melbournian musicians. Together they produce a unique brand of music that can be attempted to be described as World rock, disco-techno funky metal crunk.
Though complex at times, the music is always energetic, emotive, humorous and enjoyable.
Conrad and the Barbarians use Garnier shampoos and conditioners, Neutrogena facial cleansers and drive around in Volvo cars that run on Shell V-Power premium petrol.

well i was at a party in the bush and this lady who i thought was sexy said to me out of the blue if you were an animal you would be a crab i am staring into a fire in the middle of nowhere and she says i would be a crab
now in the beginning this made me feel a little weird who did this woman think she was no man would be happy with a crab right give him a tiger a lion a horse and eagle but a crab
as the night when on i developed a crab dance that took the heat off me a little bit seems people can love crabs especially when they dance there was crab sex in a tent later that night who would have thought a crab could do such things
two things i have learnt about the crab one is that its teeth are located in its stomach so if i the cab happened to ask that sexy lady to just relax and rest her head on my stomach well you know the rest and secondly if a crab loses his claw in a battle he can just grow it back which would make piano playing interesting
if you want to see the crab dance or the man she says reminded her of crab you can see him and his wonderful talented band this SAT 25 and SUN 26 at the TOFF IN TOWN Swanston St MELB CITY show kicks off around 8 its 10 dollars cause of the recession see you there

I was having a quick browse and noticed the new tracks! Rocking hard. What a great band. I hope you're all well, and excuse the sentimentality, but I love and miss you all. Lets fuck ourselves and get back together. Lets spend the night together. Why don't spend our lives together. I hate that split note towards the end of prelude.. ah well. I'm a beast, I've been playing everyday, if you ever want me back. Write to me, tell me how you are, you're like an ex girlfriend that I'm still in love with.
Push me over All the time I hope one of you guys come to this gig
SERIOUSLY THOUGH IT'S GONNA BE A TINY BIT LIKE PUSHOVER ONLY THE WINNING BANDS WON'T BE THERE EXCEPT YELKA DID WIN SOMETHING BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT.

hey u guys r fuckin sick but i have told yous that like heaps so u no but u got to get more track down so i can buy them and we have to gig again some time
Have you changed the password? I feel that we need to adjust our profile somewhat. 'lose the unfortunate tag to fusion. I think our conceptual vision is no longer related to what this profile suggests at all. And I want to log into myspace without anyone knowing.. I like to keep the fact that I am online somewhat regularly more private. Maybe I do have shame.. This is my shame.
Just letting ya know what we're up to... We're launching our first single "Mellow Stages" from our debut album "Rock-Bottom Jackpot" in:
Sydney- Fri 28th of Sept at Will and Toby's Byron Bay- Sat 29 /30 at the Beach Hotel Adelaide: Sat 6th Oct at The Crown and Sceptre Melbourne: Fri 12th Oct at Revolver Upstairs
The single along with an acoustic version is available for free downloadon the net but there's also a limited number for sale at shows.
We've also chucked up some pics on the myspace page as well as the video clip for mellow stages so take a look.
Lastly we've made a facebook page but have no friends on it.... you can try the link or just search DeJah groove (note the coupling of DeJah so it appears as our first name)
haha why thank you! I'm impressed that you still remember my..um..bright clothes! I still have those Monroe tights--I'll wear them to your next gig for old time's sake. Good to see I provided an exception to your anti-dancer stereotype...although I'm somewhat disturbed by your teenage girls in leotards comment! catcha
