Prawns With Horns is an entity all of it's own. There are actually no original members in the current lineup!! An eight piece entertainment machine including three piece horns and Thereminist, PWH is a band not like many have seen before....or forgotton afterward.

Live in concert they cannot be beat and will regularly play to big crowds of frenzied dancers.

Festivals and extensive world touring are fast becoming the schedule for Prawnworld

Ignored by the 'Big Boys' and coming from the most isolated city in the world, Prawns With Horns has lasted 12 years and traveled the globe.

The Music :

Possible descriptions:

      * Acid Cabaret
      * Frank Zappa with a surfboard
      * Prawn Music

While the music is the centre point for the band , there is a strong focus on providing an very entertaining funky experience.

The band is strongly influenced by Frank Zappa, Fishbone, P-Funk, Jethro Tull, Weapon Of Choice, Bootsy Collins and a string of many more

The key here is the variety and the total entertainment package - make them think, make them laugh, make sure they have a bloody good time and make sure they remember you.

MEDIA ACCOLADES:

"The band noted for their exuberant performances"
The West Australian (REVUE)

Non è esagerato
affermare che i Prawns With Horns siano stati la rivelazione di Arezzo Wave
2002. Un sound originale ed energico come le onde della West Coast
Australiana.
Arezzo Festival (Italy 2002)

"Prawns With Horns have almost single handedly redefined the Perth Music scene"
REVUE

"These guys are so funky they should be black"
REVUE

"Prawns With Horns dishing out their usual funk overladen groove extravaganza and generally enjoying themselves far too much"
REVUE

"By nights end, the 300-plus crowd had been exposed to some of the most blistering live music in town. Prawn power once again triumphed over the forces of mediocrity and good taste"
REVUE

"A spur of the moment band for sure"
Bubblehead Magazine

"The Prawns' approach is unorthodox, almost wacky, to say the least, as they flirt from a salsa to a Costa Rican inspired number to a staccato delivered rock ..."

"Lead singer and general all-round good guy, Hellman, owns the biggest smile this side of a Royal Show clown. As a band they're infectious and with a packed room of people, PWH are serious party contenders indeed"
REVUE

"As soon as Prawns With Horns appeared, supporters already within the dancing vicinity pushed forward screaming with excitement ... immediately creating a mosh pit and allowing the the thriving supporters to echo the words 'I was born a prawn..' when Prawns are about to go off stage, 'go off' is exactly what they do."
