Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes – Baby Caught The Bus

Eastside Radio’s Album of the Week is Baby Caught The Bus by Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes.

Having been gradually gathering a healthy underground following since they began touring in 2009, the nine piece band of Clairy Browne and her posse of soul sisters the ‘Rackettes’ are firmly set amongst a selection of groups reinvigorating the sound of soul.

The debut album from the Melbourne outfit is a storming swirl of new style soul. Drunken pianos, killer power vocals, smooth harmonies, sexy saxs, and sheer flirtatiousness and attitude make Baby Caught The Bus a sassy and powerful LP.

Baby Caught The Bus’ strength lies in its reliance on simplicity. Relying on a purely classic sound, Clairy Browne and her Bangin’ Rackettes are passionately bringing back get down Motown soul that hails back to the sounds of Etta James and it‘s never sounded better!

Baby Caught the Bus is an independent release by Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes. For more information go to www.clairybrowne.com
