About this album
Wangaratta Wahine is a gloriously eccentric statement from Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band, folding ragtime, acoustic folk and vaudevillian parody into a uniquely Australian party sound. Issued in 1974, the album builds on the group’s flair for novelty without losing musical bite, balancing old-time influences with sharp humour and tight ensemble playing. Songs such as the title track, “Flamin May” and “If Youse A Viper” show how the band turned past styles into something playful, theatrical and distinctly local. It remains one of the most memorable examples of the band’s offbeat charm and genre-hopping inventiveness.
