      We'd love to tour in US at some stage. Perhaps during the recording of the next album - with Steve Albini in Chicago. Which state are you in?

The Rom Rebellion official video 2010: NEWS:

The Crooked Fiddle Band spent June/July 2012 in Europe and the UK, launching their much-anticipated first full length album : "Overgrown Tales". Recorded in Chicago with legendary engineer Steve Albini ( (Nirvana, The Pixies, Gogol Bordello, Jonanna Newsom), this album captures the band's raw energy and intensely cinematic live sound.

Australian tour dates stretch from 1 October - 10 December 2011. Check out their official website for all details:
http://www.crookedfiddleband.com

Described by Brian Eno as "... completely surprising: the music is original and quixotic... I can't say I've ever heard anything else like it!”

* Listen to or buy "Rise", our second EP: Internationally of from within Australia

* mp3s of both EPs are now available by donation through Aralie

Yes, that means you choose what to pay, if anything!

What People are Saying About The Crooked Fiddle Band:

"...a short fast slab of hardcore gypsy passion... a fiery blend of various violin traditions with punk intensity and the raw finesse of crazed street virtuosos" Bradfield Dumpleton, indie-cds.com/Trad’n’Now

“Wild mash up of styles. Jess is giving the violin a solid workout. Which is a good thing. It deserves a flogging at times that bloody instrument. And a bouzouki in the line up! I'll be there at your next show if you shout the ouzo.” Richard Kingsmill, Triple J Radio

“It has the intensity of most thrash metal songs yet doesn't need heavy, distorted electric guitars to get that point across...sure to get people moshing in the pit!” Jeff Francesconi, metalreviews.com

It's fantastic...Any band that digs Sepultura and Balkan gypsy bands is okay by me. It makes for some exciting listening.” Zan Rowe, Triple J Radio

“...I’m taken by how effortlessly it appears that they are masters and mistresses of the mood, playing with and for dancers as if we are flexible puppets – willing eager recipients of the ebbs and flows…. They are so totally in charge of the audience in the most generous way...” Severin, Cuturazi.com Performance Highlights
