LOW (USA)
Initially garnering attention as leaders of the ‘90s slowcore movement, LOW went on to develop a sonic repertoire that incorporated pop, R&B and dissonant rock n’ roll. The band’s seventh full-length album, The Great Destroyer is fascinating in that it blends the band’s austere melodies (On the Edge Of, Silver Rider) with an aggressive guitar onslaught (Monkey, Everybody’s Song) and even melds LOW’s varied styles together into a single song (When I Go Deaf). Co-produced by LOW and David Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), The Great Destroyer is a welcome surprise and, in the end, a rock n’ roll revelation. Doors: 8:30pm

RAY LAMONTAGNE (USA)
Performing songs from his 2004 debut album ‘Trouble’, Ray’s distinctive raspy voice (often likened to that of Van Morrison and Tim Buckley) promises to entrance Australian audiences. During his recent US tour, he sold out shows coast to coast, his performances earning him a loyal following; a popularity not born out of radio or television hype but out of his ability to connect with his audience. Guests: The Hamptons (acoustic)
Tickets $27.50+bf Corner Box Office 12-8pm Mon-Sat, 9427 9198 or www.cornerhotel.com
