The Kransky Sisters are Tops!

‘Topology’ is a five piece jazz band comprising of violin, viola, piano, double bass and saxophone.
Last Wednesday night, they teamed up with Esk’s favourite family ‘The Kransky Sisters’ to present a unique night of music, aptly titled “A Musical Encounter” at the Brisbane Powerhouse Theatre.
The night began with Topology playing a few reasonably lengthy pieces which took the listener away on an imaginative, musical journey.
They were then joined by Dawn Kransky, dressed untraditionally in a skimpy blouse and short skirt, who played her tuba with the quintet.
A very cool version of Van Halen’s “Jump” was included in their set, before Mourne and Eve Kransky suddenly arrived unceremoniously on BCC hire bicycles!
Mourne, horrified by Dawn’s ‘hussey’ dress style, sent her half-sister off to change whilst Mourne and Eve took over the stage.
This short season at the Brisbane Powerhouse was obviously a dress rehearsal for Topology and The Kransky’s before their visit to The Netherlands for their “De Ontmoeting” tour.
Hustling Topology off stage, the three sisters continued the performance with a few old favourites: “Born To Be Wild”, “It’s A Long Way To The Top”, “Single Bed”, “Computer Games” and “Pop Music”, along with new songs “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Pop Corn”.
As always, The Kransky Sisters have their unique style to these songs, making their performance not just another “covers” show.
With the use of a dunny brush, harmonica, reed keyboard, kitchen pot, biscuit tin and tambourine, The Kranskys keep their show not just visually entertaining but musically interesting.
And no one can play the musical timber saw quite like Eve Kransky, which just has to be heard to be believed.
All round, another top show by the Girls From Esk. Here’s hoping they are just as well received in The Netherlands in January 2012.
