Dance. Pop. House. Groove. Rock. Just a few words to describe this ridiculously funky house duo from…you guessed it, Down Under. Chris Stracey and Jack Glass, better known as Bag Raiders, will take a sedentary crowd and recreate the set of Footloose. Ranked in Australians top 50 DJs in 2009, and with a daf debut album out, Bag Raiders are sure to capture the likes of Cut Copy and other neo-New Wave kids.
