Kransky Sisters Piece Of Cake - Brisbane, Powerhouse 16-08-2013


From Abba to Pink Floyd and Beyonce to AC/DC,
these three eccentric sisters with their eclectic mix of instruments
including musical saw, tuba, old reed keyboard, and kitchen pots,
have cooked up a very special sweet and sour serving of well known
songs gleaned from their old wireless at home.
Add to this, a spicy lot of stories from the sisters’ travels,
and you have the icing on the cake. Hot out of the oven,
these oddball Queensland sisters reminiscent of your old aunties,
will leave you wanting seconds!


Yes Queensland's funnest musical export are back with a brand new
show weaving their hilarious stories with their amazing covers
of songs that we mostly all have heard.
Mine you I had no idea of what the song "all the pretty ladies"
was, I was beginning to think it was one of their own.
A quick internet search and I discovered the world of Bouncy!
Well that was educational!





There was plenty of props and tons of laughs along the way.
Audience participation for the couple of fellas who got
to become honorary Kranskys!
The Kransky Sisters feature the enigmatic talents of Annie Lee,
Christine Johnston and Carolyn Johns,
as Mourne, Eve and Dawn Kransky.
If you want to hear and see the show its at the Powerhouse
till Sunday. Meantime I have posted a few videos at the
end of this post.
I missed the incredible version of Queens Bohemian Rhapsody
which was the highlight of the evening!

The Kransky Sisters - Three Bags Full


For those who don't know of Queensland's own musical comedy trio
The Kransky Sisters let me try to explain.
Written and performed by Annie Lee (Mourne) and
Christine Johnston (Eve) in collaboration with
Carolyn Johns (Dawn), the Knansky's are 3 sisters who come
from Esk a small rural town not 45 mins from Brisbane.
They tell hilariously disturbing tails from their lives in
Esk and in this show "Three bags full" all the way to Europe.
Along the way they weave in songs that they learnt from the
radio, its a incredibly diverse collection of covers that
get the Kransky treatment and a song is never the same
after that!



There was Devo's Whip It, ACDC's Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap,
The Bee Gees Stayin Alive, Steve Millers Stuck in the middle
and so much more.
They even picked an unfortunate fellow from the audience to
become Greg an honorary Kransky.
At the end of their wonderful performance they walked out
through the audience to the sounds of one of their earlier
signature tunes Single Bed
I last saw these guys maybe 15 years ago at Woodford Folk
Festival and as brilliant as they were back then they have
only improved with age.
The show is at the Powerhouse until tomorrow night!
