Hot, brassy, and explosive, ?A Great Day For The Race? is the newest
installment in a journey that began when Flap! formed during an informal jam
at the 2007 Port Fairy Folk Festival. True to those roots they?ve since gone
on to become firm festival favorites country wide having torn it up
everywhere from Port Fairy to Woodford, Falls, Adelaide Fringe, Apollo Bay,
Melbourne Jazz, Rainbow Serpent, the National Folk Festival and many more.

A fiery yet charming ensemble featuring brass, guts, words and skins, Flap!
have been described as music that is both old and new, a rambunctious
collage of 1920?s jazz, English folk, gypsy brass and Trinidadian calypso
influences. The end result is something fresh and distinctively Australian.

The first single from the album ?Rock In Space? hit the airwaves at the end
of last year and was an automatic winner, spending a month straight in the
top ten most played songs on Australian radio through AMRAP?s AIR IT and
receiving rave reviews:

?bound to get you on your feet, head-bopping, toe-tapping, and reliving your
spicy young adulthood in style. These Melbourne natives sound like a
frivolous mix of upbeat 20?s jazz, folk, and gypsy brass. Think F. Scott
Fitzgerald?s The Great Gatsby multiplied by a funky New Orleans party with a
hint of that Aussie charm we all know and love.? - The Dwarf
