Soul of the Man World Tour

December 10th 2008 01:31
Eugene Hideaway Bridges
Soul of the Man World Tour


Eugene, recently nominated for 2 American Blues Music Awards (formerly the WC Handy Awards) for Best Soul Blues CD and Best Soul Blues Artist, is often likened to Sam Cooke due to his beautiful soul & gospel tinged voice. And with references to BB King popping up frequently while describing his guitar skills, there’s a lot to like about this welcome regular visitor to Australia, and the feeling is very much mutual. Smooth as butter, soulful as you like, “the man is a veritable blues machine” while oozing enough genuine charm to light up a small city – something he does regularly on his frequent travels, which in 2008 included trips to China, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Memphis Tennessee and NYC.

Soul of the Man World Tour


Delighted to be back in Australia to kick start his Soul of the Man World Tour, Eugene Hideaway Bridges should not be missed if you like your blues music laced with soul, funk, gospel and rock and delivered with buckets of class, style and warmth.

TOURING | OF MONTREAL

December 3rd 2008 23:14
OF MONTREAL
Australian Tour February / March 2009




Psychedelic pop rockers Of Montreal announce their much anticipated debut Australian Tour for early 2009.

The last couple of years have seen the indie stalwarts explode from cult status to international popularity. Nine albums deep and way too many costume changes to count, the time is nigh for the Athens, Georgia natives to bring their frolicking romp of a live show to our shores.

Of Montreal emerged from the Elephant 6 Recording Company - a collective of American musicians interested in combining musical experimentation with more traditional elements of pure pop music.

The band is largely the project of Kevin Barnes - a married white man whose alter ego is a black transsexual named Georgie Fruit. On their latest album, Skeletal Lamping (released in October 2008) Kevin embodies a glam-funk warrior. The record is drenched in the sounds and sexuality of Prince, Freddie Mercury and Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie. Barnes uncovers his freakiest fantasies, revisits his past and explores seemingly contradictory aspects of his personality in a kaleidoscopic musical vision!

With a career spanning over ten years, we are thrilled that Of Montreal will finally bring their extravagant live concert to Australia for 2009. They appear at the Golden Plains Festival, Perth International Arts Festival and club shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Expect the unexpected!

Vinny Bhagat

Shivnakaun is a Sound Art Project born in 2005 and is led by electronic music composer & percussionist Vinny Bhagat. He invites distant artists from various backgrounds for performative collaboration.

Our performance is like a journey, which can start with ambient minimal generative sounds and climbs to the areas of experimental sonic art electronica. The performance is inspired by the art of making sounds , the path of improvisation and translations of a digital world.
Spontaneous nature of the music means you hear a one off performance. Vinny

Distributed performances are emerging trends in performance practices where the performers are not in close proximity to each other. Through modern Internet technology, isolated performers can be visually and sonically connected to each other. Hence, the requirement of performers in one physical space is rather a matter of choice not condition. This opens up new avenues of collaboration between distant artists. One can set up a performance base, collaborate with artists in isolated locations and broadcast performances in multiple venues within one time frame.

Kym Gluyas || Chris Martin || Brian oregan ||
