Gareth Liddiard, Jim White and Chris Abrahams are playing an exclusive show at the Brunswick Ballroom, to get warmed up before heading into the studio to record new material for an upcoming album. Due out later in the year, the album will combine elements of free-jazz, lyricism, improvisation, avant-garde and experiment noise.
Chris Abrahams is best known as the keyboard player from avant-garde free jazz trio The Necks but has also played with the Laughing Clowns, The Church, The Triffids and Midnight Oil among others. The Necks were described by the New York Times in 2017 as “the greatest trio on Earth”.

I disagree with David Croweâs conclusion (âPM in denial over travel ban backlashâ, May 7). Itâs working out exactly as Scott Morrison planned it, since his main focus now is the election he must call by May 2022. Harsh statements about jail and fines makes him look tough. Thatâs a vote-winner. Dog-whistles get nods of approval from dog-whistle fanciers.

BIGSOUNDBIGSOUND, Adelaide Guitar Festival Returning
After going virtual last year, major conference and showcase BIGSOUND returns to Brisbane in a physical form this September, while July’s Adelaide Guitar Festival becomes an annual event. –

In 2019, it injected A$2.99 million ($2.30 million) into the Brisbane economy. There will be digital options for those who can’t attend in person.
Kicking off with Indigenous Showcase and Women In Music events, the conference discusses changing industry and audience dynamics, post-COVID business transition, cultural change, inclusivity and innovation, gender equality and safety, international economics and domestic politics.

Australian East Coast Co-Headline Tour About this Event
The dreamiest of dream teams Elizabeth and Alice Skye join forces to announce an Australian East-Coast Co-Headline Tour throughout June and July. After a year of solitude and isolation Elizabeth and Alice, along with their bands, are ready to traverse the country, embrace the stage and stir up the biggest, best and most cathartic feelings amongst the crowd.
While their 2020 plans to tour were put on hold, including an album launch tour for Elizabeth, and a slot at SXSW for Alice, the pair did not sit idly by. Last year was a big one for both Elizabeth and Alice, the former releasing a deluxe edition of her debut album The Wonderful World of Nature, and the latter three searing singles from her own soon to be released debut.
