Christmas, The Sneaky Sound System Way

While you are scrounging in your pockets, while buying Christmas presents and food, for your last $50, spare a thought for those poor bastards in Sneaky Sound System.

The struggling independent musos are having a rough time of it at this most special time of the year, playing gigs where they can and hoping they’ll be able to put some food on the table come December 25th. It’s…

Oh, you’ll just have to read on, we can’t take any more of this tragedy!

The Christmas bonus has come early for Sydney band Sneaky Sound System, who are understood to have stuffed their stockings with profits of up to $200,000 from the corporate functions circuit.

It’s a case of weddings, parties anything for the hot dance act, who have spent the last week reaping the big bucks for adding funky festive cheer to corporate Christmas bashes around the city.

More than 300 clients of financial services firm Goldman Sachs JBWere were treated to a 40 minute set by the ARIA award winning performers at a no-expenses spared bash held at Mrs Macquarie’s chair last Wednesday night.

The band’s manager Amber Zada pulled out the violins when the Confidential team tried to winkle any further corporate coin chasing out of her, saying “we’re an independent act – we don’t have a record company writing out cheques so we do what is necessary to keep funding the band’s future.”

Oh, cry us all a river! ARIA awards and a sack full of used $50 notes? Christmas is cancelled!
