The Smart Folk formed in 2013 when two members of the Sydney, Australia mod-revival band 'The Mayday Dreamers' embarked on a different musical path as an acoustic duo.
It was only ever meant to be a one-off show playing acoustic mod and folk classics, but over the last five years The Smart Folk has evolved into an original four piece electric combo, incorporating mod, psych, and power pop into their own unique sixties-inspired sound.
