Albany gets its own Music in Parks event at the beautiful Albany Lakes Park. Exciting acts Hipstamatics, Flaxxies and Ijebu Pleasure Club bring the funk and soul to your weekend!

Get ready to boogie, because Hipstamatics’ style is based on Motown legends like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross – as well as performing classic and contemporary hits from many genres.

A group of mates from school, surf alt-pop band Flaxxies draws on a wide sphere of influences. This five-piece will soon have you singing along with their passion for powerful songwriting and adrenalizing live performance.

Ijebu Pleasure Club takes you to Nigeria in 1987 where a small-town Afrobeat band has just been told they need to play American top 40 hits to keep their nightclub gig. They don’t own any of the records but they’re going to give it a try – and audiences love the result!
