The Town Bikes

Notorious first ladies of crazed adagio, The Town Bikes Gabi Barton and Carla Yamine have amused and bemused audiences across Australia, Europe, The U.K. and America with their inimitable stylings and high voltage performance. Born from a desire to present entertaining and meticulous work, their unique brand of dance based theatrics has catapulted them into venues as diverse as East German Fishing Ships, Theatres, Swingers Parties and a Buddhist Cabaret. Purveyors of sordid slapstick and curious choreography, The Town Bikes’ works reflect their wish to celebrate the abject and champion life’s minutia. Beige can look like a rainbow if you squint a little.

They have been Special Gift Mistresses for a few years now, overseeing the rise of the Meredith Gift from a shabby forlorn hungover nude ramble on some little paddock on a Sunday to the world’s premier nude footrace. Bikes, we thankyou.
