The bunch of blokes - many of them bearded - are a renowned mens chorale who have chosen to use their ageing bodies to sing rather than join a mens shed.
Formed by New Zealand-born Stephen Taberner in 2001, their voices have been heard to describe their love for tools or turn classics like Bohemium Rhapsody into upbeat Bluegrass concoctions and are bringing their tunes to Wollongong and other major Australian cities.
The Spooky Men's resume includes nine tours of the UK, six albums, sell-out shows at theatrical venues like the Melbourne Recital Centre and festival appearances too numerous to mention.
Their upcoming tour will warm your hearts with some of their much loved black-catalogue of covers with new incursions into beauty and stupidity - including new renditions of two Ukrainian songs and Yothu Yindi's Treaty like you've never heard it before.
