What is All Day Fritz?

All Day Fritz are a bunch of well known Melbourne performers who enthusiastically cross the great divide play musical shows that are genuinely for everybody!
​
Great music for youngies, oldies, and everyone in between.


All Day Fritz have been  filling dance floors and bringing their special, rowdy, harmonious, interactive blend of original music, diverse genres and a few tunes you will definitely recognise, to humans of absolutely all ages, all  across the country for over a decade.
.
All day Fritz play stages both huge and intimate, either as as a trio , four or five piece, or the massive big band with full horn section and our fabulous Go-Go dance teacher Anna Go-Go.

Fritz play regular gigs at the  tiny creperie Open Studio in Northcote as well as gigs at Moomba, Artplay, Bendigo Festival, Darebin Feast, The Spiegeltent and the massive stages of Etihad, Falls Festival Tassie, Port Fairy Folk Fest, the Melbourne Recital Centre, and Arts Centre Melbourne.

Fritz love to have a great time with the crowd and their unique brand of rootsy, harmonious, rowdy, melodious, bluesy, humorous, swingy, funky, calypso-ey, eclectic, original music is a hit with adults and kids alike.

​Fritz are just as at home playing a family crowd, youngies, oldies or a late night adult venue.
 
The music is never EVER dumbed down. At our gigs we love to see the dance floor packed with people of all ages from grandparents swing dancing to babies jiggling. You can always hit the dance-floor, or sit back and enjoy the four part harmonies, original tunes and great songs from a range of musical places.

ALL DAY FRITZ  specialise in hunting down music not usually heard to give the audience a taste of a wide range of musical genres as well as funky original tunes and a couple of favourites people will DEFINITELY recognise.

Concerts and Workshops

ALL DAY FRITZ 

FRITZ doesn't play down to young audiences and respects that they enjoy good music as much as grown ups.

We also run workshops in harmony singing, Gogo dancing and percussion. We love to invite workshop participants of all ages and abilities to join us for our performances - singing, playing and dancing with the band live.

There are some snippets of our recent all-ages/all-abilities workshop (at ArtPlay in Birrarung Marr) on our workshops page. We teach the crowd simple harmony parts to some of our songs and then our "choir" are invited to sing live with us later at the gig.

REVIEWS FROM VENUES

All Day Fritz were the headline act for our annual High Tea Party in The Pavilion this year along with the amazing Anna Gogo. We promised the audience a fun filled day of twisting, shaking and shimmying and they were not disappointed! The musicianship of the band is outstanding and the energy and style were perfect for our families audience.      
Rebecca Armstrong
Producer | Arts Centre Melbourne


“I have programmed the totally marvellous All Day Fritz on several occasions in the cosy confines of Edinburgh Gardens Village in Fitzroy, and in the overstimulated (and hugely enjoyable) madness that is The Falls Festival and they always deliver a cracking set.  Their excellent family oriented dance music rocks it every time.  I can recommend them without reservation.”
 Ian Pidd, Artistic Director, The Village

With their unique blend of music, workshop, audience participation and humour they captivated the audience both young and old.
 Patrick Cronin, Arts Centre Melbourne
