The Stepkids
Signed to the notoriously awesome Stones Throw label in America, The Stepkids are currently on their first trip to Australia to treat us to their fusion of punk and jazz, West African and 1960s folk, neo and classic soul, classic funk and 20th century classical.

For your chance to win, check these guys out and tell us what you think they sound like or just guess.
