There‘s nothing like a gypsy flavoured fiddle to get the feet moving — add an accordion and you’ve got a party. That’s the way it looked as the Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra 
returned to Lethbridge to play a sold out show at the Slice, Jan. 7 with Laser Cake from Calgary.
Laser Cake started the show with an upbeat set of melodic, piano powered indie rock.
They sang a lot of appealing soulful vocals, harmonized with each other and had the good sized audience grooving to their original music.
Everyone was there to relive a slice of the the South Country Fair, where The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra has been a highlight for the past two years.
While they started off slowly with a beautiful, slow song showcasing excellent vocal harmonies, they had most of the audience on their feet from the start, clustered in front of the stage, chanting “oh,oh,oh” along with them.
While lead singer Kurt Loewen noted they 
had changed their sound to a more goove laden indie- folk rock sound, they wear their gypsy roots on thier sleeves.
They have retained their exotic, gypsy inspired sound which the crowd really responded to.
“We like you guys,” cried lead vocalist Kurt Loewen as the crowd sang along with “Well, Well, Well.”
The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra sounded a little like Los Lonely Boys, except with an even more exotic flair. They even sang a song in Portuguese.
They slowly picked up the tempo and had most of the crowd by the end as the band sang fantastic vocal harmonies and added a little mandolin and lots of fiddle into the mix of accordion, bass, drums and guitar, which kept the crowd hopping for a solid hour before they called it a night.
They were called back for an encore, as the band jumped into the middle of the crowd to play a couple acoustic songs, which had them all singing along.
