In a quiet town in the middle of south east Queensland lives a huddle of strange sisters whom, in between tending ants, knitting egg warmers, and hanging out cane toad skins to dry, travel around the country performing their popular musical shows to a growing following. This oddball musical trio marry curious real life stories with a host of uniquely homemade arrangements of popular songs gleaned from their old wireless in a highly entertaining event.
With kitchen pot, toilet brush, keyboard, musical saw, tuba, guitar and duelling tambourines these three weird yet endearing spinsters present offbeat covers of songs ranging from Nana Mouskouri and Eurythmics to Talking Heads and The Bee Gees.
The combination of the Sisters’ sheltered view of the world seen through their superbly droll comic dialogue, and alluring musical sound makes this night out with your strange old aunts an unforgettable experience.
The Kransky Sisters were regular guests on television including SBS’s In Siberia Tonight and ABC’s The Side Show and Spicks and Specks and BBC’s Comedy Shuffle.
During the 2020 Covid-19 global pandemic, when all touring was cancelled, The Kransky Sisters developed a fun little home-baked Youtube mini-series called Isolation Bake. A special thanks to their friends with a phone/camera.
In December 2021 hope to return to Brisbane for their Christmas show... and in 2022 be part of the Winter ComFest in Adelaide. Keep an eye on the tour page.
