For anyone who fancies something a little, err, different, these guys are playing Shepherds Bush on sunday night - before returning to their native australia. They're a bit hard to describe, but 16 men with hats singing close-harmony versions of, for example, "(I can't get no) satisfaction" is something your life is probably missing out on...

Saw them last night in Cambridge and they were spectacular!

Damn, they sounds cool. Too bad I'm 3000 miles away.

Just back from the Spooky Men. 16 guys on a stage singing a Swedish-modified version of Dancing Qveen by Abba is quite amazing. Had a great time
