Top 10 Australia Revelry On this week 06/09/2020 (COVID-19 EDITION)

It’s going to be a wet one.

 

10) Ferran Palau: Live

9th September

What: Ferran Palau’s songs play with everything: what’s there and what isn’t, pop and R&B, metaphysics and mundanity, sentences that are as tweetable as they are enigmatic. Shaping time with your hands, and asking questions. Experience him live.

Why: A perfect physical manifestation of where music is currently headed. It’s up to you to decide where you stand on that.

8) The Command Sisters: Live

7th September

What: Highlighting high fashion heat and even hotter hooks, Command Sisters exert this effect on tape, on stage, and everywhere else for that matter. The sisterly duo—Charlotte and Sarah Command—turn life’s ups and downs into eloquent and entrancing alternative underpinned by live instrumentation and bold production. From music to fashion, the Toronto band make a statement with everything they do. “We are a yin and yang, my sister and I. Both literally and figuratively; Charlotte’s hair is usually black, and mine is blonde or white. Our look reflects our synergy; the songs that Charlotte writes partnered with the instrumentation I bring. This is our identity.”

Why: If there’s one thing that indicates a new rock duo is of quality, it’s how effectively their hair colours play off each other.

4) MANKind: Fools Gold TV

10th September

What: Stockholm, Sweden quartet MANKIND have long been a hidden treasure of the European underground rock scene, touring across Europe on the strength of a few EPs and singles.

Experience them in a livestreamed performance.

Why: See a must-see live band. At…home.

3) Yoke Lore: Live at Gundlach Bundschu Winery

9th September

What: Adrian Galvin, better known by his moniker Yoke Lore, is a multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and visual artist from New York, United States. Before going solo Galvin was a member of Walk the Moon and Yellerkin. Experience his style of rousing indie pop live.

Why: We’re not sure why, as an indie musician, he felt he had to adopt the moniker ‘Yoke Lore’. Seems like a lateral move from his actual name ‘Adrian Galvin’.

2) Didirri: The Critic

11th September

What: Didirri is the son of a painter and childrens singer/songwriter. He first went on the road quite young, as a circus performer. As a teenager, he learned to play music on the piano and later when he completed high school he began a Bachelor of Music, where he picked up the guitar in earnest. It was at a time of his life where he was learning that letting people in is important, he began writing and soon after, busking on the streets of Melbourne. Taking his writing cues from family, philosophers, comedians, friends and lovers, Didirri reveals himself using words and music with unparalleled openness. He compares his songwriting to writing a personal self-help book, littered with advice and observations to avoid repeating mistakes.

Why: If Joseph Gordon-Levitt developed a heroin habit and become 10% less intolerable.
