BUCKWHIPS PRESENT BUCKAPAPA
The Lonesome Buckwhips are back, armed with a bunch of epic new tunes, and ready to rock The CLASSIC for a special two-week residency. Fresh from recording an utterly brilliant four-part series with Radio New Zealand, The Buckwhips new show entitled Buckapapa is sure to skyrocket your recommended daily intake of hilarity to dangerously high levels.
This is the Billy T Award Nominees first taste of The CLASSIC and the residency is a first for the long-time comedy club.
The group, that recently performed on Dai Henwoods TV Christmas Special, sing deliciously funny songs beautifully and will indulge audiences with their unique take on the world, performing their numerous hits and a couple of duds including Pink Eyes Crying in the Night (Ode to the common albino) and Santa King of the Jews.
In a strictly limited season, the Buckwhips will also invite audiences along for $10 Thursday Jam Nights where folk can chat with the band and make requests of their favourite Buckwhip hits!
The show holds special significance for The Buckwhips as they will be dedicating their performance to their late Great Uncle Fiddles, who taught them everything they know about music. Ever since Fiddles death all we've had to look forward to is this show, so we've never been more ready to perform. We're set to really boil everyones water, really quack their ducks. We literally want to condense everyones milk, reports Benny Buckwhip, the self-proclaimed most talented Buckwhip out of the four possible Buckwhips.
Viciously funny!� Lynn Freeman, Radio New Zealand
The best thing since Flight of the Conchords. Actually no, the best thing since someone thought gin and tonic was a good combination. And that was fucking revolutionary. - Canta Magazine
