The 80s Brat Pack Band feat. Brian Mannix, Eve von Bibra & Scott Carne

Now here's an idea for your 2009 Xmas Ball - The ultimate 80s originals Scott Carne, Brian Mannix and Eva Von Bibra are together as The 80s Brat Pack and will woo you with their electrifying and charismatic performance... the gags, the costumes and the hilarious between-song banter. Their show is in the tradition of the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc.) and is backed by the ultimate big swing band, led by the highly respected piano player/MD Mark Fitzgibbon.

Brian Mannix is best known as lead singer of The Uncanny X Men, with #1 hits like “Everybody Wants To Work”, “Party” and “50 Years”. Eva Von Bibra is best known as a member of 80’s chart topping band The Chantoosies who had huge success with hits like “Wanna Be Up”, “Witch Queen” and “Kiss and Tell”. And Scott Carne successfully rode the “new wave” of 80’s pop with his band Kids in the Kitchen. Their platinum selling debut album “Shine” yielded five Top 10 singles including “Change in Mood”, “Bitter Desire” and “Current Stand”.

The Martini Sisters - A trio of jazz singers backed by a 6-piece band

Formed in July 2009 The Martini Sisters are a fresh, entertaining jazz band from Melbourne, Australia, that have captured the sound of the 1940s and brought it to the 21st century. Heavily influenced by the 3 part harmonies of groups like the Andrews Sisters and the Boswell Sisters, The Martini Sisters bring a new sound to an old style and are taking Melbourne and Sydney by storm.

Their repertoire includes covers from music made famous by The Andrews Sisters, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller, but also includes songs performed by more recent artists such as The Puppini Sisters, Gwen Stefani and Beyonce.

The Martini Sisters are fast becoming highly sought after corporate entertainers, event performers and wedding singers and have recently performed for the Melbourne Theatre Company, The Steve Waugh Foundation (Sydney) as well as various bars and exclusive clubs.

The Martini Sisters generally perform as a trio of singers, accompanied by a 6 piece jazz band but can also be hired as a 5 piece ensemble.
