When Emaline Delapaix & The
Delistocracy perform, you'll have fun. You might
laugh so hard, you'll fall off your seat, and then
be compelled to write a poem about world poverty,
all in one set. Emaline's songs are about everything
from dodgy jobs, including a paid offer to spank a
man for £100 an hour, to an artist's exotic outlook
on life, travel, loss, love, hard hitting world
issues and secret love affairs between musicians.
Emaline began her career in
sun baked Australia, touring cities and the Aussie
outback. since then, she's taken her swag of songs
to Europe, North America, and has even traveled to
Vietnam. Through her travel and experiences,
Emaline's music has grown with her, to incorporate
her thoughtful and sometimes humourous perspective
into an enchanting eclectic style, all of her very
own. Whether she's singing a lilting lullaby about a
London love affair, a funky folk song with roots
flavours, a brassy jazz number, some lazy cabaret, a
clever pop song, or rocking out Latin-style, Emaline
will make you feel something. And she might even get
you dancing.
Emaline's band of merry
players called "The Delistocracy" includes hand
picked female musicians chosen for their talent,
dedication to hard work, colourful sense of humour,
similar ideals and a much needed ability to deal
with having to listen to pre 2001 Robbie Williams
hits while trapped in a car together on very long
tours. The band includes such instruments as viola,
violin, percussion/kit, acoustic guitar, charango,
flute, clarinet, trumpet, piano, glockenspiel and
vocal harmonies. Emaline and band also have the
ability to play quietly when asked nicely.
