Welcome to Brisbane Unplugged Gigs

Using only two voices, ukelele and double bass and sometimes a banjo or acoustic guitar (and maybe a top hat), the compositions are dynamic, harmonically rich and melodically complex.

Bridging the less explored avenues between baroque pop, old timey music and post-Beatles influence, these dapper boys bring old world charm together with indie musical sensibilities. They create stroganoff like no other.

Markus Karlsen (double bass, vocals): Markus plays a very large wooden instrument, that you have to stand up to play. It has four big strings and looks a bit ridiculous. Some people are not tall enough for this instrument, luckily he is.

Mirko Ruckels (vocals, guitar, banjo, ukelele): Mirko is looking at grafting extra arms to his torso, so he can play all of the stated instruments at the same time. Until that operation is complete, he has to make do with playing one instrument at a time.
