ANNOUNCEMENTS
HAMELL ON TRIAL (USA) with The Go Set
Sat 16 Dec
Doors 9.30
Prior to a debilitating car accident in May 2000, acerbic New York singer-songwriter Ed Hamell aka Hamell On Trial toured constantly, logging more than 250 performances each year. Now fully recovered from his head and spine injuries, Hamell is back on the road (albeit more judiciously) and recently completed a sold-out US East Coast tour with Ani DiFranco. Hamell On Trial defies all musical categories. ‘Punk acoustic’ and ‘anti-folk’ come close. He combines the scabrous wit and pitch-black humour of both the late Bill Hicks and Hunter S. Thompson in their prime, alongside a hard-boiled pulp/noir sensibility usually found in the works of Elmore Leonard.
$20+bf
$25 at the door if still available
Tickets from NSC box office (301 High St, Northcote), Ph: 94861677 and online via www.northcotesocialclub.com
