HOLLY THROSBY (NSW) with Guy Blackman
Sun 18 June
Doors 9.30
Holly Throsby plays her first local shows in six months, previewing her new single ‘Making A Fire’ and forthcoming album ‘Under The Town’. It’s the follow up to the album ‘On Night’ and the songs are rich in literary detail and some of the most intimate holly has written. Since the release of ‘On Night’, Holly’s voice has developed into a stronger more evocative instrument. This could be the result of plenty of practice live and/or more confidence in her craft. Whatever the case we like it very much. This confidence was apparent on Holly’s cover of ‘Not The Girl You Think You Are’ from the Neil and Tim Finn tribute ‘She Will Have Her Way’.

TRIOSK (NSW) album launch with Qua
Wed 26 July
Doors 8.30
Laurence Pike (Drums), Adrian Klumpes (Piano/Keyboards) and Ben Waples (Double/Electric Bass) are three improvisers who came together searching for something beyond the conventions of the jazz trio. They continue to look for new ways to combine the sound and unity of purpose of a great piano trio with the textures and processes of minimalism and electronic music. This can involve layering of both acoustic and electronic sounds and manipulating the natural sounds of their instruments. In a live setting, Triosk fluctuate between the atmospheric sound scapes of their recorded work, and high-energy minimalist improvisations dedicated to the exploration of the trio’s musical possibilities and limits.

SNOWMAN (WA) with special guest
Fri 9 June
Doors 9.30
Perth’s Snowman follow up their recent tour supporting The Liars with their own Melbourne headline show. Taking influence from visual art such as film and performance as well as music and noise art, Snowman mangle together everything and anything to create the Snowman sound. Strange melodic psychedelic punk- rockabilly meets hypnotic rhythms, abstract lyrics, chain saw violin and eerie soundtrack noise. Snowman have just finished recording their debut album with Dave Parkin at Blackbird Studio. It promises to be a collection of the bizarre and the curious, songs about life in a small city, social claustrophobia, dark tales based on a true story but twisted, bent and beaten into submission and crammed onto a thin circular piece of plastic.

SNOWMAN (WA) with special guest
Fri 9 June
Doors 9.30
Perth’s Snowman follow up their recent tour supporting The Liars with their own Melbourne headline show. Taking influence from visual art such as film and performance as well as music and noise art, Snowman mangle together everything and anything to create the Snowman sound. Strange melodic psychedelic punk- rockabilly meets hypnotic rhythms, abstract lyrics, chain saw violin and eerie soundtrack noise. Snowman have just finished recording their debut album with Dave Parkin at Blackbird Studio. It promises to be a collection of the bizarre and the curious, songs about life in a small city, social claustrophobia, dark tales based on a true story but twisted, bent and beaten into submission and crammed onto a thin circular piece of plastic.

HOLLY THROSBY (NSW) with Guy Blackman
Sun 18 June
Doors 9.30
Holly Throsby plays her first local shows in six months, previewing her new single ‘Making A Fire’ and forthcoming album ‘Under The Town’. It’s the follow up to the album ‘On Night’ and the songs are rich in literary detail and some of the most intimate holly has written. Since the release of ‘On Night’, Holly’s voice has developed into a stronger more evocative instrument. This could be the result of plenty of practice live and/or more confidence in her craft. Whatever the case we like it very much. This confidence was apparent on Holly’s cover of ‘Not The Girl You Think You Are’ from the Neil and Tim Finn tribute ‘She Will Have Her Way’.

Laurence Pike (Drums), Adrian Klumpes (Piano/Keyboards) and Ben Waples (Double/Electric Bass) are three improvisers who came together searching for something beyond the conventions of the jazz trio.

This can involve layering of both acoustic and electronic sounds and manipulating the natural sounds of their instruments. In a live setting, Triosk fluctuate between the atmospheric sound scapes of their recorded work, and high-energy minimalist improvisations dedicated to the exploration of the trio’s musical possibilities and limits.
