SHORT BIO
THE SEVEN UPS, Blending influences from 1970s underground Funk with Jazz, Psych and Fuzz Rock; The Seven Ups are the original 7-piece party band out of the northern suburbs of Melbourne. Expect unrestrained solos by unkempt horns over an unpretentious rhythm section that's “as tight as they need to be, and as loose as you want them to be” ( DJ Miss Goldie, PBS fm).

Off the back of their third album Commandments, the band proves that they're not trying to prove anything. Released in early 2018 via Northside Records, the tracks are longer, the funk is fuzzier and the trip is deeper. The bands fourth studio album has been track, mixed and is currently being pressed to black wax, set for release in early 2021. The Seven Ups music has been featured in Wax Poetics (USA), album of the week on PBS fm and Beat Magazine, top 10 on KEXP (USA) and continues to receive airplay on BBC Radio, KEXP, Triple J, ABC Radio National and community radio around the country. Career highlights for the band so far have included playing to 12,000 punters at Meredith Music Festival, a New Zealand tour in 2019, opening forCharles Bradley (USA), TheBudos Band (USA), Remi (AUS), Babylon Circus (FRA) and The Bamboos (AUS), as well as a string of raucous shows at venues across the country and festival spots at Womadelaide, Strawberry Fields, White Night, Moomba, Subsonic, Sydney Road Street Party, Kyneton Music Festival, Bello Winter Festival, Come Together Festival and Folk, Rhythm & Life Festival.
