SCREAMFEEDER (QLD - performing ‘Kitten Licks’) with Midget (NSW) and Sounds Like Sunset (NSW) - SELLING FAST!
Sat 27 June 2009
Doors 8.30
‘Kitten Licks’ still tops many peoples’ top Australian albums of all time lists, and the band still holds a special place in the hearts of Australian music fans who came of age during the frantic and exciting days of the mid 90s. Screamfeeder will play the entire ‘Kitten Licks’ album, as well as selected b sides. Along for the ride will be 90s heavyweight indie gods MIDGET. Both bands were part of the explosion of Brisbane noise-makers who dominated the touring and live scene back when indie rock was king.

SAN LAZARO (single launch) with Agency Dub Collective and The Putbacks
Fri 3 July 2009
Doors 8.30
Back after an extended break, Melbourne’s best loved latin lunatics are back with more mambo, more salsa, more percussion, more horns and more new material than you can describe in two languages. ‘La Chimera’, a 21st century take on the classic ’son cubano’ style, is the first single from their second album due this November. San Lazaro bring the rhythms and forms of a musical style which was born in Africa and raised in the Americas to the streets and airwaves of Melbourne, and anyone with ears and feet will immediately understand why.

VICTORIA WILLIAMS and VIC CHESNUTT (USA) with Natalie D-Napoleon & Andre Hooke (Khancoban)
Thu 9 July 2009
Doors 7.30
Finding inspiration in nature, inanimate objects and things unseen, Victoria Williams has been crafting her unusual brand of folk music in the wilds of Southern California for nigh on twenty years now. Her songs have been covered by musicians from all over, from Lou Reed to Lucinda Williams. Since releasing ‘Sings Some Ol’ Songs’ she’s been touring extensively with kindred spirit M Ward. Most people don’t see the wonder in dirt and filth, or the humour in the often cruel machinations of the world, but Vic Chesnutt does. Hailing from Athens, Georgia, he’s spent much of his career reflecting on the darker corners of life, often aided on his amazing albums by a rotating cast of musicians including members of Lambchop, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra. Since last years brilliant ‘Dark Developments’ album collaboration with fellow Athenians Elf Power and The Amorphous Strums, he’s taken to the road again touring his particular take on beauty and living.
