Melbourne Ska Orchestra Get Smart Tour
Following an ARIA Award nomination for Blues and Roots Album of the Year for their 2013 debut, Melbourne Ska Orchestra have been going from strength to strength, even taking out the Age EG World Music award, and now they’re hitting the road again.
Fronted by Nicky Bomba (Bomba, John Butler Trio, Bustamento), the Melbourne Ska Orchestra are a 30-odd piece extravaganza of sizzling horns, percussion, organs, keys and skilled vocals. Their epic chops have seen them gather many fans on the national festival circuit.

“We used to just sing about stiffies but we’ve sort of outgrown that – we’ve matured as artists,” says Jason Leigh, bass player of The Stiffys, the Melbourne-based rock and roll duo who have just announced a new East Coast tour set to kick off later this month.
The tour comes in support of the duo’s new EP, We Are Groovy Boys. “This is the first time we’ve ever had a record in the shops before and we’re really excited because the ladies will probably know all the words to our songs,” said drummer Adam Stagg.
