   About Monsieur Camembert
Triple ARIA Award winning group Monsieur Camembert has been at the forefront of Australias GYPROCK scene for the past 10 years
"...a gloriously good humoured & eclectic collection of genres colliding...its all carnival sounds & folk parody but played with undeniable ebullient gusto & enthusiasm. Musically as diverse as the ethnic mix in the line-up itself, & delivered with all the virtuosity, bravado & wit you'd expect from this superbly cerebral yet viscerally driven ensemble"

Another excellent show last night in TheCan guys - although never ceases to amaze me how still a crowd of Canberrans can be! Next time you come to town we shall have a proper Gypsy Dance Party with much crazy dancing!

Please, Please, Please post your upcoming gigs somewhere (or tell me where I can find it!) so we can follow your caravan around this land & throw our skirts around at more of your gigs xxx

Hi Guys. Thx 4 the add. Went to see you at the Playhouse @ QPAC on Saturday nite (Famous Blue Cheese) & it was just an awesome show. I had no idea what to expect & came away absolutely blown away. Great concept & terribly engaging. I just wish u were doing two concerts as i would have come to them both. And your rendition of Famous Blue Raincoat was spine tingling good. OK enough of the accolades .. its back to work for you guys for your next show.
Don't be too long b4 your next visit to Brisvegas

Another awesome night at the Brass Monkey last night!!! :)
Yaron, you'd better have a solo prepared for the next time you come to the Monkey.... because I'm going to hassle you again for one ;)
And no, Lola doesn't cut it as a solo!!!
ps - love the Famous Blue Cheese album - absolutely delightful....and the recommendation for the Monkey cocktail - you were right... just like dessert YUM!!!
