Craving some tropical disco fun times? So are we!
On Saturday 8 Nov, Rufino and the Wreckage will premiere their highly anticipated Bongcee Bongcee Discotheque Tropicale party night at the FunHaus Factory, Gosford!
Pioneers of tropical-punk-disco, Rufino and the Wreckage, are infamous for their seductive swagger, their freaky flamboyance and their irresistible genre-bending grooves. A little bit camp, a little bit tropikal noir, and a whole lot of fabulous, Rufino and his six-piece band The Wreckage will whisk you into a disco-infused tropical dreamscape, aided and abetted by the inimitable DJ Jack Shit to keep the party going between the live music sets.
On this night of nights, Rufino and the Wreckage launch their new single, The Dream of Bongcee Bongcee (Sha-La-La) Come luxuriate in the music with us.

Rufino and The Wreckage are a six- eight-piece band led by Rufino (aka Pip Branson, the crooner from Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen), delivering a flamboyant fusion of tropical cabaret and punk-disco energy. Their sound collides voodoo rocksteady, jungle disco, exotica, and 80s post-punk into a theatrical, party-ready experience. Inspired by Serge Gainsbourg and Grace Jones, the band crafts quirky story-driven songs layered with sixties guitars, seventies synths, and souvenir-junk percussion. Described as โgood time tropical pop,โ Rufino and The Wreckage promise a kaleidoscopic ride of infectious grooves, wild rhythms, and irresistible cabaret flair.
