If you haven’t seen this band playing your favourite chart-topping hits from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s, then you’re in for a real treat! Coming straight off the back of multiple sellout shows, the Midnight Rollers are on a mission to reinvent some of the greatest tunes in rock and pop history, with their inimitable big band style!
Get your tickets now to the finest Jazz establishment in Perth, The Ellington Jazz Club, our musical home away from home, and party the night away to tunes you know and love, rearranged as nature intended – covering every style that a big band can offer, from Swingin’ Jazz, and New Orleans second line street funk, to LA Hip Hop, Mambo, sultry cabaret, and everything in between.
The Midnight Rollers will have you toe-tapping and fancy-free from the first note to the last – you may pay for the whole seat, BUT YOU’LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE!
“You guys make these tunes sound better than the originals!”
“I couldn’t believe you could make that song sound so good!”
The Midnight Rollers are;
Shameem Taheri-Lee – Divinely inspired vocalist, beautifully unique and multi-award-winning soul songstress.
Marty Pervan – Obnoxiously high and loud Trumpet, MD, and herder of cats.
Ricki Malet – Perth Trumpet Royalty – “a sweeter sound you will never hear”. Jazz Trumpet player of choice for serious touring artists, and all-round legend!
Bruce Thompson – Musical chameleon, equally at home playing Latin, Soul, Big band, Stage Musical or Classical gig – and he has the runs on the board to prove it! He is better known in some circles as THE BATMAN!
Kieran Hurley – Bionic Bass Trombonist to the stars and vehement Queenslander (but we still let him play in the band). We have the technology…
Erin Royer – Alto Saxophone rock-star – embodies epic-ness and saxophone wizardry. Has one of the largest collections of tools in the band. (Implied connotations are the responsibility of the reader)
Dan Hart – Tenor Sax legend that is a consummate rock-god and total guitar hero in his spare time. Also a bit of a curry and chilli aficionado who (appropriately) brings some serious heat to the reed section.
Alex Boyd – Bari Sax legend of mythological proportions… lightning-fast reaction time and pinpoint accuracy, useful for many situations… some call him a dark horse… some know him as the shadow… we call him “Sir!”
Tom Salleo – The Piano man’s, Piano man of Piano men. Previously a trombonist, but saw the light and moved to an instrument that would earn him some money. When he says he’s going for a swim, it might be to Rotto.
Pete Jeavons – Basses of all kinds, professional bear poker and devil’s advocate. Unrivalled memory for names – feel free to test him, especially later in the evening. Happy to engage in pseudo-theosophical debates with strangers as an attempt to alter their belief system.
Mike Pigneguy – International Drumkit Super-Star, can count in tunes in about five languages! Next generation influencer and extremely active composer. *Disclaimer – he may not be able to count in tunes in five languages.
