The Vampires live

The Vampires have attracted worldwide attention with their unique sound. Their music can best be compared to Miles Davis Bitches Brew or the Art Ensemble of Chicago. However, the four Australians clearly manage to put their own stamp on the sound.

Magazines such as Downbeat Magazine describe The Vampires as "Phenomenal", the Guardian praises their "seductive cross-genre creativity" and All About Jazz considers them "Pure Gold". Several appearances at prestigious festivals in the UK, Europe and Australia also speak for themselves. The Vampires are also the first instrumental act to be nominated for the Australian Music Prize. Their new album Nightjar received the prestigious ARIA Award for Best Jazz Album of 2023.

The band has released six critically acclaimed albums to date. Including The Vampires meet Lionel Loueke. Their 2019 release Pacifika marked a return to their original chordless quartet line-up.

Their new album Nightjar offers a new perspective on the band's music through their collaboration with pianist and keyboardist Chris Abrahams. Abrahams - a member of legendary improvisational minimal trio The Necks - brings his sparkling musical approach to the existing dynamics, elevating the band to new heights.
