shortstraw make music. music that sounds like children laughing. music that sounds like unicorns feeding in a lush, green field. music that sounds like a rainbow. music that sounds like puppies being born. music that sounds like angels playing scrabble. music that sounds like a married couple fighting through the thin wall of your apartment. now doesn't that sound nice? but seriously... shortstraw are a joburg based band making waves on the national indie music scene in a big way. with their simple melodies and catchy rhythms, the band has taken pleasure in rocking the most prominent live music venues and clubs in the country, and is well known for getting the crowd dancing. WE ARE THRASH FOLK!
