VINTAGE pop mash-up group Postmodern Jukebox will bring their unique sound to Dorset next week.
Starting out as the bedroom project of Jazz pianist Scott Bradlee, the US group’s vintage-pop mash ups have racked up more than 650 million YouTube views and brought their rotating roster of top-class session musicians into the limelight and onto worldwide tours that have sold 220,000 tickets to date.
Their weekly videos marry familiar 21st-century pop tropes such as the party vibe of Miley Cyrus or the minimalist angst of Radiohead with the musical styles of yesteryear, from swing to doo-wop, ragtime to Motown, or as Bradlee himself puts it, 'pop music in a time machine'.
The outfit played 155 shows in 2016 alone.
Now, they’re releasing their major label debut album The Essentials in the UK on April 6th alongside a run of live shows, kicking off in Bournemouth on Monday February 27 at the O2 Academy.
