// Basitan's Happy Flight //
Conceived from a love of early 80's bogey funk and disco, Bastian's Happy Flight is the declaration of founding member Will Slade's obsession with a style of music full of a positive feeling and energy.

After Slade spent too long alone behind the decks and in front of cumbersome computer software he reached out into the ocean of Perth musician to hand pick a band comprised of classmates, old pals and strangers befriended at a distant dance festival. The result is Bastian's Happy Flight; Will Slade (vocals/keys/synth), Jack Doepel (synth/bass/saxophone), Alex Dew (guitar/ back-up vocals), Troy Mutton (drums), Tom Allum (pads/ percussion).

The band started rehearsing in 2010, with their first gig at the Norfolk Basement (still among their favourite places to play). In the resultant years BHF have supported such international and Australian acts as Jaques Renault ( USA), POND, Snakadaktal and Does It Offend You Yeah? (UK) as well as playing slots in such festival line-ups as Summerdayze, Parklife & Southbound. In 2011 they won a WAM award for best Electronic song with their first single 'My Love'. They were also nominated in 2012 for Best Dance song, Best Pop Song, Best Guitarist and Best Keyboardist/ Multi-instrumentalist.

Their first EP, 'EP01' was recorded around Fremantle with producer and friend Matt Giovannangelo and released in June 2011. Interest for the recording outside of Perth led to an electronic re-release with UK label Mullet Records almost a year later. Their second EP is set to be released mid 2013.

Despite obvious references to decades past in both their sound and band name, BHF offer a very unique energy to their recordings and live sound, both very separate entities to them. Sans backing tracks, plug-ins and flimsy gimmicks, BHF breaks the mould of electronic music with their emphasis on honest live music played with indefatigable energy and exposed hearts, without the pretence and sense of irony much beloved by many music makers.
Think of it as the upbeat soundtrack to your life.

Indie Shuffle; "The music he's created here is absolutely stunning, with his heartfelt vocals and strummed guitar backed up by an eclectic mix of sounds. By creating a musical landscape that really captivates its audience, he's done what a lot of folk musicians try and fail at -- beautiful stuff".

"James Teague is a singer-songwriter who is undeniably unique. Finding solace in the souls of old jazz singers and psych-tinged folk ramblers, his songs are filled with unpredictable melodies, poetic lyricisms and a soaring vocal tremolo. James is currently working on his third album, with acclaimed engineer, Nick Huggins (Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, The Harpoons, Whitley, Leah Senior)."

Tomás Ford has been captivating audiences for two decades with his unapologetically raw and provocative musical performances. Whether he's belting out idiosyncratic electronic beats or strumming his folksy ukulele, his unrelenting high energy and confrontational demeanor leave a lasting impression on all who witness him on tour around Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Europe. 

But what truly sets Tomás apart is his complete and utter fearlessness in sharing his uncensored self with his audience. It's this authenticity that has endeared him to his fans and garnered respect from his peers. A few songs into a set of Tomás Ford's transgressive, queer, punk-as-fuck musical performance art, you can't help but realize that he's not just striking a pose. This is the real deal.

Ford's career highlights are as bizarre as they are impressive:
• Was a bona-fide viral sensation in Malaysia, getting coverage on national news and which eventually led to him winning a Malaysian Grammy. 
• His hyperactive comedy DJ show Crap Music Rave Party became an institution at the Edinburgh Fringe, selling out every year for four years and growing into one of the biggest late shows of the festival.
• Became part of the furniture at the Big Day Out's legendarily debauched Lilypad stage. 
• Toured the country scaring audiences in massive venues as a special “treat” for Birds Of Tokyo’s audience. 
• Has opened for an insanely diverse range of musicians and comedians, including Gary Numan, Regurgitator, Dave Graney, Of Montreal and Mouse On Mars. 
• He’s won a “Best Ass In Sydney” competition at Stonewall. 
• He’s collaborated with live artists PVI Collective, hosting their quiz show about food, “Eaters” and joining their “Terrorist Training School.” 
• He has collaborated with cult popstar Ze Rebelle and noise-rapper Simo Soo. 
• He’s been welcomed into the top cabaret rooms in London, including the David Lynch-themed institution "The RR Club." 
• He’s crowdsurfed naked on a crowd of naked people. 

Ford tours a diverse repertoire of shows that show different, but equally ridiculous and uncomprimising sides of himself. His live solo shows, or “Bubble Baths,” see him performing remixes of songs from his whole career, bizarre cover versions and spinning his own bootlegs of his fellow cult queer icons. He takes on the persona of a scoutmaster amidst a nervous breakdown and queer awakening for his unplugged “Campfire Ukulele Torture” jamborees. There’s the aforementioned smash comedy nightclub “Crap Music Rave Party”. He’s also got his musical spy thriller “Chase!” up his sleeve, which is slowly being developed as a film project.

When the pandemic firebombed his career as it did everyone else’s, Ford responded by scheduling a hectic schedule of livestreams. His “Have A Bath With Me?” shows saw him croon his subversive pop songs from the safety of his bathtub, for audiences at home in tubs of their own. The show (virtually) toured festivals around the world before evolving into a fully fledged, Beyoncé-style visual album. 

After an early version of it debuted at Perth’s Revelation Film Festival, his life underwent the overdue implosion many people have experienced over the last few years. So he spent 2022 squirrelled away to work on making sure the bath he’d made was as warm as possible for everyone. Now it’s ready.
