DESCRIPTION:
The Twoks playing a cover of Queen's 'Somebody To Love" with some help from the audience at Pure Pop records, St Kilda, Melbourne during their July 2012 residency. *&#
The Twoks, a Melbourne based group, consist of Xani Kolac on electric violin, live loop & vocals and Mark Leahy on drums & vocals.
It is amazing the sounds these two inventive talents can produce from no more than an electric violin, live loop and drums. A twinkling desire to have fun blended with formal musical training (Xani has a Masters in Music Performance ) make their live performances an uplifting delight. They are very special - dont miss them!

Reviews of The Twoks:
"."Drawing you in, Xani loops and overlays her violin, layer upon layer, swaying back and forth like a mad sorceress .. till she's practically levitating in a rich wall of sound around her ... and Mark's drums anchor it in weighted reality, through hypnotic rhythm and articulate percussion."
-
"Kolac wastes no time showing the impressive array of sounds she can make using but a violin and loop pedals .. tapping a beat on the instrument's body, finger plucking the strings, and even playing it across her torso like a ukulele. Jimmy Page may have taken a violin bow to a guitar, but Kolac makes abundantly clear just how much can be done with a humble fiddle."
