Permaculture funk-swing for a changing world - With a wheelbarrow full of dirty electro radish-beets, crusty jazz ukulele, swingin' strings and hyperactive horns, Formidable Vegetable are here to sow the garden of your mind with seeds of future-resilience in the funkiest way possible.
Whether equipped with a wheelbarrow load of tasty, dancefloor-igniting electro beets or stripped back to their live instrumentation (consisting of brass, strings and a ukulele), FoVeg plant seeds of inspiration at every festival, fair and community garden they perform at. Having toured to over 20 countries and with seven records under their belt, the band is paving the way for an entirely new kind of creative action for composting the problems of the world and growing abundant, community-scale solutions in their place.
Over the past decade, they have become a favourite around Australia and on international festival circuits, having played at some of the biggest events in the world (including the likes of Woodford Folk Festival, BOOM, Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, City of London Festival, Green Gathering and ViViD) alongside monumental acts such as Radiohead, Tame Impala, Dolly Parton and The Rolling Stones.
