About the Band:
i can dress myself is a fresh-funk, electroacoustic, silly dance band selling psychedelic experiences for adult children. Born in 2009 in San Francisco, these big kids graduated from the legendary bed stage of Castle McLeodister to performing atop their own Grahama’s House as part of Elephant Bird Camp and the Funky Ones.
Graham McLeod, founder of the Funky Ones and Head Graham of all time makes meaty beats while freestyling and giving his bongos a good whupping. Sweet, pink-haired Thundermouse (Emily Haltom), a classically trained violinist, wrings a juicy roar out of her tiny Korg and croons and pops or shreds and rocks. The self-proclaimed Minister of Purpleganda (Eamon Armstrong) completes the trio with a powerful baritone harden in the tough corridors of Western Australia’s youth musical theater scene. They are joined by their newest creation: the I Can Dance Commanders: three luscious, Technicolor creatures fashioned out of a scaly petri dish at Burnal Equinox 2012. i can dress myself guarantees “We will have you laughing while dancing or we’ll return your face free of charge!” And special thanks to Paul.
