The Bait Fridge is a multi-disciplinary collective from South Australia whose members collaborate under a unified banner to create works and performances which combine the practices of music, art, dance and theatre. The Bait Fridge incorporate elaborate costume construction, interactive art installations, experimental music, and audience workshops into their practice to create exciting performances and works. The combination of Slowmango -winners of Best New Artist at the 2020 SA Music Awards -and The Bait Fridge -a 6-year running collective of over 20 artists -is a feast to the senses.
‍
Slowmango blend influences from around the world into a sweet and savoury buffet of international groove, with far reaching influences ranging from Ethio Jazz to Peruvian Psych; Arabic Funk to West-African Disco. With a penchant for improvisation, the five-piece have found a sweet-spot between their global inspirations, developing a sound which invokes moments of compulsive danceability and upbeat celebration -without forgetting Sunday mornings and afternoon drives. And while music sits at the core of Slowmango’s world, visual media is always in its orbit -and who better to paint this world than the hyper-colourful arts collective The Bait Fridge.
