Exciting Australian songs propelled by energetic jazz-like woodchop rhythm! Add some strong local lyric, with gang vocal delivery and their unique sound is complete.
The Band Who Knew Too Much are a bona-fide foolproof floor-packing band. For over a decade they have branded their sound around the world; a highly energetic act that is at home singing on the festival stage, busking unplugged on the city streets, or anything inbetween!
Washboard/Accordion driven anthems about spending the rent, hard rubbish nights and of course, the immortal BEER O’CLOCK!! It's happy hour, energetic party music for everyone.
The Band Who Knew Too Much embrace the brattiness and flaws of everyday life and turn them into material for an intoxicating party of endless energy- like being stuck in the exact moment of winning the AFL premiership cup and feeling the pain and tears of every losing season drift off your shoulders and disappear in the air.
‘ After 15 years of proving it, The Band Who Knew Too Much are a truly classic Australian band with an undying spirit for the complete abandon and joy we feel when we throw our fines out the window, slam the rent down on the bar and decide there’s no tomorrow- all night long.’
Woodchop Jazz veterans The Band Who Knew Too Much celebrate the important things: Beer, Spending the Rent, Whales, Suburban lunch cutting and Hard Rubbish nights in Kew.

Must be Beer O’ Clock
It’s happy Hour 24/7 for Melbourne Pub Jazz Group The Band Who Knew Too Much.
It’s the cold war all over again, except this time it’s HOT! It’s Russia vs. Australia. Friday, June 26th at the NSC (301 High St, Northcote). In the blue corner (with a few stars and some red and white crosses) is The Band Who Knew Too Much, veterans of sweaty pub fights all over this brown land. Their Aussie songs of beer-drinking and rent-spending hit as hard as a woodchopper’s axe. In the red corner (with a hammer and sickle scribbled out) is VulgarGrad, who have won many a brawl in the gulags of Siberia and the mean-streets of Moscow. If you turn your back on them, their vodka-drenched songs of felony and misdemeanor will knock you straight to the ground. Officiating the fight is The Coonabarabran kid (OrganBoy), who makes no attempt to hide his allegiances – he knows the Aussies don’t need any help on their home turf (Northcote). Doors open at 8:30pm, tickets are $12 on the door. Organ Boy first, Vulgargrad second, The Band Who Knew Too Much last.
Band Members: Dave Evans, Andy Reid, Matt Earl, Craig Fermanis and Rory Boast.

The Band Who Knew Too Much's Friend Space (Top 16)
Maybe TBWKTM could do a version of the Russian Lunch Affair (Beefweek/Pete Bufo) could clinch the match as it's rollicking Aus beer swilling muzac with a Russian theme. Lookout though, they may do a russian version of Khe Sahn or I Was Only 19!
