Reimagining present-day chart hits with a vintage twist, Postmodern Jukebox is a veritable YouTube sensation, amassing some 500 million views and performing all around the world to fans who’ve fallen in love with their quirky covers online.
An ever-growing collective of performers, the act now encompasses more than 70 rotating cast members, who create arrangements which transport current hits to an entirely different era and somehow make them sound like they were made for it. Especially beguiling examples have included their take on Welcome to the Jungle, with its rich orchestral accompaniment and silky vocals; Sia’s Chandelier, mournfully and goosebump-inducingly sung by a sad clown; and a cheeky vintage soul riff on Radiohead’s Creep.
Catch them at the Corn Exchange on 28 February; tickets from £31.25.
