The Spooky Men's Chorale - 25 Years of Pointless Grandeur

‘Stand back and admire the beautifully sung anarchy.’ – Daily Telegraph

The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a magnificent, many-headed beast that has single-handedly turned the world of men’s singing upside down. Bypassing well-trodden avenues, they carve out new territories of mighty man sounds, exquisite tenderness, and charming stupidity to both celebrate masculinity and mock it.  

Celebrating their 25th birthday, The Spooky Men’s Chorale bring their anarchic approach to vocal music and reflect on what it means to be a man. Highly theatrical, these ordinary blokes with extraordinary voices veer from surreal to moving to joyous, in a style which defies genre.

About The Spooky Men's Chorale 

The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a vast, rumbling, steam powered and black clad behemoth, seemingly accidentally capable of rendering audiences moist eyed with mute appreciation or haplessly gurgling with merriment. Based on the twin pillars of grand foolishness and the quest for the perfect subwoofer-rattling boofchord, the Spooky Men seek to commentate on the absurdity and grandeur of the modern male armed only with their voices, a sly collection of hats and facial hair, and a twinkle in the eye. 

Formed in New South Wales in 2001, the Spooks have become rock-solid festival and theatre favourites in Australia, the UK and Europe, with seven albums and 960 gigs under their belts. No subject is too trivial or weighty for their attention, and such ability to find new musical rooms to explore contributes greatly to their astonishing fan loyalty.
