This was forewarded to me in an e-mail and I thought it was interesting enough to want to share it. It is a unisexual singing groups that does everything vocally including the band instruments that go with songs normally. Have a listen and enjoy!

Live Long and Prosper!

p.s. do you think Star Trek or Leornard Nimoy could sue me for saying that?

`Musically excellent and well choreographed. I wonder if any members are or were members of the famous Swingles Singers who pioneered this sort of synchopated choral music.
However, I think their chosen uniform is ghastly and not a little sinister. You couldn't recognise any of them.

Quite recently we went to an entire evening's concert in Dublin given by the eight current swingles singers, four blokes and four girls all beautifully dressed, musically first class, exquisitely choreographed and a real joy to listen to and behold.

This lot are tiring on the eye after one minute and I wouldn't cross the street to go and see them.

[JRMILLER]

That group is remarkable!

[Big and Bashful]

Excellent group, I like the style, the music and well, everything about them They stand out from the rubbish you tend to get in the charts now. Very entertaining.

I think their singing is super, I don't get the "unisex" idea tho, I can SEE beards and boobs, so they don't really come off as unisex, just a bunch of fine singers in (as Kirb said) ghastly uniforms.

[STEVIE]

The uniforms are certainly "odd". Mayhap they are meant to look like vocal chords, which were never meant to be seen in public.
The singing and choreography was very good but not so original, besides The Swingles, there was also The Kings Singers who did this but mostly classical. They represented all manner of instrument by voice alone but never really gained a wide appeal.

I can't believe that nobody's mentioned the Flying Pickets yet.

Mentioned them? I've been trying to forget them for 30 years...

Have fun,

Ian and EthelTheFrog,

Thanks for the intro to The Flying Pickets. The visuals in "Only You" were wonderful!

No problem. "Only You" made them famous (and got them onto Top of the Pops), but it wasn't the only song they covered. A personal favourite is their version of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. Sounds like a strange concept, and the song sounds even stranger, but it is surprisingly well done and very enjoyable in execution.

It's so bad it's good!

[Mugs-n-such]

As long as they're coming off as unisex seems like they could have worn skirts, or long robes at least, lol.

[flarob]

Yes definately, long robes would be more unisex. Would tend to hide the womens breasts better too.
