Already breakout stars in their native Australia, Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes are rooted in old-school R&B and soul, re-imagined for today with a twist. “What sets it apart is a dirty, electric guitar,” explains frontwoman CLAIRY BROWNE. “It’s our own sound, like a gumbo.”
Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes will release their debut album BABY CAUGHT THE BUS May 21 on Vanguard Records. In its first week at radio, their first single “Love Letter” was the #1 Most Added at Triple A Radio with airplay at Alternative stations across America as well. Watch the official video for “Love Letter” here: http://youtu.be/irNtyaNHq5A. Expect the group that the New York Music Daily described as “the great long-lost collaboration between David Lynch and John Waters” (April 1, 2013) to appear on of NPR’s “Weekend Edition” on May 25 and to announce a U.S. summer tour soon.

About Clairy Browne & the Bangin’ Rackettes:
Formed in 2009 over a mutual love of early rhythm n’ blues records and rock n’ roll, singer-songwriter Clairy Browne and her harmonizing group of rogue musicians The Bangin’ Rackettes began rehearsing in an abandoned coffin factory called “The Pound” in the suburbs of Melbourne. Together the nine-piece band has come a long way thrilling both festival and U.S. club crowds alike with their young take on old-school soul, rhythm and blues, jazz and doo-wop which plays a large part in their broad multi-generational appeal. Clairy Browne & the Bangin’ Rackettes—Clairy Browne (vocals), Camilla (vocals), Loretta Miller (vocals), Ruby Jones (vocals), Jules “Crazy Legs” Pascoe (bass guitar), Darcy McNulty (baritone sax), Gabriel Strango (Piano), Peter Bee (guitar) and Ricky Martyn (drums).
