THE SMART FOLK // THE BLUE RINSE SET

Indie-psych-mod band from Sydney singing songs and telling tales of the city and the suburbs…

The Smart Folk formed in 2013 when two members of Sydney mod-revival band The Mayday Dreamers embarked on a different musical path as an acoustic duo.

It was only ever meant to be a one-off show playing acoustic mod and folk classics, but over the last five years The Smart Folk has evolved into an original four piece electric combo, incorporating mod, psych, and power pop into their own unique sixties-inspired sound.
