We will open the show for the terrific band Midnight Tea Party, as they will be launching their new EP.
With a mix of Latin rhythms, reggae, ska, and some magic hints of swing and jazz, Heckatombe was born in Sydney in 2017 when Gabs (saxophone) and Esteban (percussions) met busking at CBD. After jamming together, they noticed everybody dancing around them, which was something they, of course, loved. So they baptised this blossoming musical friendship as Heckatombe and soon managed to recruit the most terrific musicians from all around the world to add up to their already "spicy sound". They got immediate results by winning the "audience favourite" price at the Youth Music Infusion Competition And Concert, ISLA City of Sydney in May 2018. This remarkable experience clearly showed that Heckatombe was on the right path. Following a brief restructuring, Heckatombe grew in members and creativity, which led them to several shows in Sydney and Canberra during 2019 until… BANG!!! COVID-19 pandemic appeared out of nowhere to make everyone's life more complicated for a while now. However, the great relationship among Heckatombe's members kept the project together and turned into a "lockdown creational wave", increasing their original setlist. Heckatombe managed to show these new creations literally between Sydney lockdowns, with four shows, three of which got soon "sold out", showing one more time the lovely connection that Heckatombe has with its beloved audience.
Heckatombe is conformed by Ricardo (percussions), Esteban (percussions), Gabs (saxophone, vocals), Riley (drums), Amy (trombone), Patricia (keyboard), Carlos (bass guitar) and Tito (guitar, vocals). Our next goal is to release our first EP + videos in the following months, allowing our audience to enjoy our music anywhere they go!
