   About Doch
MySpace GeneratorsHello all you crazy Gypsies!

Doch is a Brisbane based band, featuring seven passionate and exuberant urban gypsies with immortal musical abilities. They are professional, committed and unrelenting in delivering the best show at all times.

The band has already generated considerable arousal in their hometown, Brisbane, receiving coverage in The Courier Mail, The Sunday Mail, City News, Time Off and various suburban newspapers, as well as airplay on Radio National and Triple Zed. They have also appeared on ABC television's Stateline. They are receiving national and international attention as a result of acclaimed festival sets, such as those at the 2003-2005 Woodford Folk Festivals, at the World Beat Festival, Cabaret Festival, WOMAD 2006, Cygnet Festival 2006, Auckland Folk Festival 2006 and The Big Day Out!

Doch released their debut, full-length album ‘Chasing Grasshoppers’ in December 2002. It was launched with great fanfare at an event featuring a specially assembled 30-piece Gypsy Orchestra and is being distributed nationally through MGM Distribution.

They have also shot a music video clip to “Biba’s Sorrow” which featured a professional dancer in a white lycra suit!!!!!

Doch now has a live album from the 2004 Doch Gypsy Orchestra series of shows at the Brisbane Powerhouse. It is a fantastic listen and is titled "This Drink This Moon".

Doch is highly suitable for parties, festivals and celebratory occasions. They work well both indoors and outdoors – providing people have room to dance. Their music transcends age and trends – making them highly attractive for general public events. They are also perfect for events that attract the dedicated music lover, with their meticulous musicality, unique arrangements and instrumentation, and eclectic musical sources.

Here are two short videos from the Doch Gypsy Orchestra series at the Powerhouse 2007. Enjoy!

For nice quality clips see the gurus of film, http://www.browndog.com.au/. We appear in the Woodford DVD. We are also in the process of compiling a DVD from the 2006 Doch Gypsy Orchestra show. It was filmed by Lavproductions - http://www.lavproductions.com/

Just wanted to thank all of you for a great night. Wasn't it fantastic to see some many people dancing through the tables? Give a shout out to Barney, or Bane, or... well i forgot his name - but he can sure rip it up on the sax! Hope he plans for another trip down under!

Hey DOCH. Awesome show that you guys put up the other night at West End Services Club. I don't remember last time I danced kolo like a crazy maniac on extacy with a bunch of gorgeous Serbian girls and shouted from the top of my lungs to the lyrics of song, like that night. See what you do to me hehehe.

Hi wonderful gypsies!
Please tell me that your gig on friday the 4th is all-ages... I will be very sad if it isn't.
Also, excellent work at Woodford, I had so much fun. Good times, good times.

There is a part of us with passion
Within the passion is the Dream.

Every dream is your own creation
It is the power in your dream
That gives you passion and life’s meaning.

So bring your full passions into your dreams.
Life is not easy
Your Dream can live forever.
Take a little time for your passions
Take a little time for your dreams
There is power in Dreams.

We miss you and your majeeek. May we suggest you harass your manager to take you to Adelaide? Tell her champagne and lots of it is guaranteed.

I am being haunted by a little cold wet shiver that wont leave me alone for all the stubbornness of flesh eating ants!!

I am pinning for the warmth of some Bulkan beats to chase the chill from my bones...

What is the off chance that you brisbaneous baboons are coming to stomp the ground in melbourne this year?
