Pokey

About

Pokey and the Headlights are a party band that plays like a jukebox with a sense of humour. Their repertoire swings between rock 'n' roll, swing, ska and surf, so a set can jump from the ska bounce of Madness to the twangy guitar style of Dick Dale. Then it might land on singalong staples like Great Balls of Fire and the evergreen La Bamba. What sets them apart is the sheer enthusiasm they bring and a stage act built on comedy. The songs are mostly ones you already know, but they like to throw in surprising twists. The result is a crowd that dances, laughs and gets swept up in a good dose of nostalgia.
