Bar Open Gig Guide

Monday 8 th February
SCREEN SECT: American Movie (Chris Smith, 1999)
A strangely inspirational documentary, this follows the at-times comedic misadventures of manically driven Milwaukee film-maker Mark Borchardt, as he struggles against bad planning, financial hardship and an amateur cast and crew, to complete his independent horror film ‘Coven’. A must-see.
Doors 7.30pm

Tuesday 9 th February MAKE IT UP CLUB The Make It Up Club is committed to nurturing, presenting and promoting avant-garde improvised music and sound performance of the highest conceptual and performative standards, regardless of idiom, genre, or instrumentation. Whilst traditional forms of avant-garde improvisation are welcomed, MIUC programming policy gives priority to projects which challenge the boundaries of current musical trends and which are predominantly, though not exclusively, improvisational in nature.
This week’s performers are:
- Freya Schick-Arnott (cello) and Nic Tammens (electric guitar)
- Jonathan Heilbron (contra bass) and James Mclean (drumkit)

Doors 8pm

Wednesday 10 th February
FIREWITCH
MYSTERY BAND (FROM LAND OF THE RISING SUN)
OCCULT BLOOD
BREATHING SHRINE
On Wednesday the 10th of February, Bar Open hosts a night of crushing, psychedelic, noise-rock featuring the highly anticipated return of Firewitch. After many a moon in hibernation, they will be performing a special set, switching between classic Firewitch motifs and material from their latest incarnation as Inappropriate Tough Guy Behaviour. Support comes from the free-form phych duo Breathing Shrine, neanderthalic noise-core sect Occult Blood, plus a special appearance by mystery act from the land of the rising sun. Don’t miss this rare program of monolithic sonic disorder.
Doors 8pm / Free Entry

Catherine Traicos returns to Melbourne

Filed under: pop music, Gigs — site admin @ 3:14 pm

Catherine Traicos launched her breakout 2nd album ‘The Amazing’ to much critical acclaim late last year, and now she’s heading back to Melbourne to promote the newly lifted singles ‘Drunk On Your Breath’ and ‘Cry’.

‘Drunk on Your Breath’ with a deceptively simple arrangement featuring glockenspiel, piano, acoustic guitar and banjo, draws the listener into a luxuriously layered song that cuts to the heart and leaves a catchy melody on the mind.

‘Cry’, with its lyrics giving sage advice and its sing-song tune, is reminiscent of the classic songs of the forties and fifties. A joyful banjo solo by Nick Huggins punctuates the piece.
