SEBASTIAN (two sets) |
|
Northcote Social Club. |
|
Northcote |
|
20-05-2012 |
|
SEBASTIAN is a progressive neo-burlesque performance incorporating dance, live music and video installation. The production’s lustrous aesthetic is inspired by renaissance artworks form the likes of Caravaggio and is conversely infused with more modern tastes like the tongue-in-cheek works of Tom of Finland, and is structured in performance styles such as Brechtian theatre or modern live Electroclash shows. Burlesque is a very popular performance movement, but SEBASTIAN radically deviates from the form with live music and other performance modes incorporated into the show.

Esc are a noisy quartet with a shattering wall of clanging guitar and driven dissonance over a hammering rhythm section. This bright young band takes influence from grunge and shoegazing luminaries. Yet mature in their sound, they cannot be compared to anything in particular. Come see them yourself every Monday in May at the Evelyn Hotel alongside an enthralling list of supporting bands.

Resist Presents, Bitter End Australian Tour May 2012. Influenced by the metallic New York Hardcore bands of the late 80's and early 90's, San Antonio's Bitter End have established themselves as a brute force in the hardcore community. With all the makings of a contemporary hardcore classic, 2010's "Guilty As Charged" bruises and batters with dynamic riffing, potent vocals/lyrics, and bone shaking breakdowns. Songs like "Unjust" and the title track "Guilty As Charged" showcase this hybrid brand of hard hitting thrash and hardcore.
