Itchy Feat
Repertoire/Style of Music

ITCHY FEAT specialise in versatility. We play most musical styles and cater to a wide range of venues. We are adding to the repertoire all the time. The following is not an exhaustive list but it might give you some idea.
 

Typical performances may include:

Rock and Roll

Rock music is great and we play heaps of it. But here we're talking about Rock and Roll which harkens back to the music of the 1950's. Lots of Bill Haley, Little Richard, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry. The band also adds the more recent songs that have become popular with Jive dancers.
Itchy Feat have a whole night of jive.

Baby Boomer Music

Itchy Feat are often called to play music from the 60’s and 70’s. This was a very versatile period of musical history and the Itchies vary their repertoire depending on the event.

For example:

If it’s a dance night the Feat will play:

Heaps of Beatles, Stones, Creedence, Kinks, Roy Orbison, Eagles, Bruce Springsteen etc. We mix in evergreens like I'm a Believer, Love Potion Number 9, Mustang Sally,  Brown Eyed Girl, Sing Sing Sing, Stand By Me, Time Warp etc as well as some more obscure covers from the period
 We can play a whole night of this sort of music.

If it’s not just dance music that’s required we will add quieter songs like those from:

Cat Stevens, Jerry Jeff Walker, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, The Rascals (you remember...Groovin’), Neil Young, Simon and Garfunkel, America, Neil Diamond, Carol King, J J Cale, etc.
Itchy Feat can play a whole night of this sort of music.

Country Music

Country music is a huge genre and sometimes it’s hard to tell what people mean when they say “country”. (Is it Shania Twain or Slim Dusty??) Consequently Itchy Feat tend to mix it up a bit: blending touches of Country Rock, Western Swing, Country Standards and the odd Bush Ballad.
Songs like:
The Love Sick Blues, Back Home Again, Big Bad Bill, Blue Moon of Kentucky, Bye Bye Love, Comes a Time, Could I Have This Dance, End Of the Line, For The Good Times, Four Strong Winds, From a Jack to a King, Thank God I’m a Country Boy, Have I Told You Lately, He’ll Have To Go, Heartaches By The Number, King of the Road, Let Me Be There, Marguritaville, Some Days Are Diamonds, Singin the Blues, Ruby etc
The Itchies have enough material to do a whole night of this sort of music.
 

Cocktail Parties or Similar

Itchy Feat often play formal events where they get the opportunity to dress the part and play jazz:
Witchcraft, Caravan, Makin’ Whoopee, Don’t Get Around Much Any More, Blue Moon, Up The Lazy River, Moonlight In Vermont, Chatanooga Choo Choo, Till There Was You, Unforgettable,  Cry Me A River, and lots of other jazz standards.
Itchy Feat have a whole night of this style of music in their repertoire.

 
Ball Room or 50/50 dances

Itchy Feat have frequently played at formal occasions requiring strict tempo ball room dance music. eg. Fox Trots, Quick Steps, All Latin Feels (Bossanova, Tango, Samba etc.), Barn Dances and Gypsy Tap, Canadian and Evening Three Step, Modern and Old Time Waltzes, Pride of Erin etc.
Itchy Feat has a whole night of this style of music in their repertoire.

Yeah...but what's Itchy Feat really like?

Well, it’s hard for us to be objective (let alone humble)...but this list compiled during a group hypnotherapy session might help:

· For most gigs we play a combination of styles.
· We like to relate to a crowd.
· We maintain an easygoing, light hearted and entertaining approach while delivering top quality music.
· We go down well with all age groups.
· We adjust volume levels etc to suit the occasion and venue.
· We are all full time professional musicians.
