ST/ART

Startling sonics sprayed hither & thither forthwith!


Wednesday April the 24th ~

I'll be activating the bat-shit crazy late shift at Palmer & Co from 11pm (rather than 10) for the next fortnight, as we celebrate the opening of new nosherie Good Luck across the way, with live music returning for the three hours prior. All for free!


Thursday April the 25th ~

I'll also be rolling up to Dashville a day earlier than usual this year, for the specific purpose of bracketing The Gum Ball's ANZAC Day set by old mate Gareth Liddiard (who still holds the record for most appearances on my radio show, despite ceasing to do media on gig days about a decade ago). If you are heading north for the weekend make tracks in time if possible. It's a rare chance to hear this man's epic solo fare in full, lit by fire, under the stars.


Friday April the 26th ~

Thence it's back to routine gratituitous Gum Ball gallivanting: a three-way, three-hour Silent Disco shenanigan with Urby and Liz Ham alongside from 12.
Earlier, the evening will escalate exponentially: as RVG pass the baton to Tropical Fuckstorm; before ex Cramps, Bad Seeds and Gun Club member Kid Congo brings his Pink Monkey Birds band (this time featuring Mick Harvey on bass) to a midnight climax. I just can't get over the calibre of this line-up!


Saturday April the 27th ~

Hopefully we'll be able to reassemble ourselves into some semblance of solid shape in time to drive back to the big smoke, as there are some pretty sweet live prospects in the offing for Jack Off. We know that Asha Jeffries will appear to perform Brand New Bitch and there is a chance that even Beth Orton will grace us with her presence. Tune in between 3 and 5 to see what transpires on the day!

Afterwards I'm sure to be feeling like a little sophistication after all of these wild and woolly adventures in the bush, so I deeply appreciate that my final gig of the week will be at Dean and Nancy on 22 - where you too can sup on morsels and medicines whilst taking in the tunes. Entry is free. Find me there between 9 and half 12 if yr keen!
