With a cast of 7 Australian members, 1 percussionist, DJ, world championship beatboxer and 4 agile acrobats the Tom Tom Club is an amazing performance of high energy and incredibly high impact showmanship.

Upbeat, banging beats with a hip hop / funk style, the Dj's performance is a spectacular show of turntablism, scratching and mixing loops with a sampler, laptop and turntable. The percussionist jumps on a set of live drums and joins in jamming away, then the beatboxer mixes in his own beats. Synchronicity of timing and musical talent at it's tightest!

Absolute feet stopping, heading bopping drums, beats and beatboxing wtih a dazzling display of strength and agility of the bounding, jumping, flipping acrobats promises to be a show not to be missed at this years festival.

5 stars all the way.
