THE FORTITUDE MUSIC HALL PRESENTS ‘STRINGS ATTACHED’ CONCERT SERIES WITH BRISBANE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

written by the partae

Brisbane’s premier venue, The Fortitude Music Hall is teaming up with the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra (BSO) and a unique selection of Australia’s finest touring talent for the inaugural Strings Attached series kicking off in February 2021.

Produced by The Fortitude Music Hall team in conjunction with Conductor Emeritus Antoni Bonetti & Brisbane Symphony Orchestra, Strings Attached is possible thanks to the support from Federal Government’s RISE Grant initiative with recipients announced today.

Taking place quarterly at The Fortitude Music Hall, each Strings Attached show will feature 25 members from Brisbane’s best-loved community orchestra onstage, performing alongside a different contemporary artist.

Showcasing the depth, legacy, and brilliance of Australia’s deep pool of local talent, Strings Attached is a collision of sonic worlds, making for a spectacular and memorable series of events for fans of both classical and contemporary music. The official line up of artists playing alongside BSO will be announced in early 2021.

The Brisbane Symphony Orchestra will be led by Antoni Bonetti, the Orchestra conductor and violinist. Bonetti is Music Director and Founding Conductor of the 70 member Brisbane Symphony Orchestra and Noosa Orchestra.

Antoni Bonetti says “Brisbane Symphony Orchestra is always pleased to accompany Australian contemporary artists and play music by Australian composers. We have a proud history of accompanying singers and instrumentalists and have in the past collaborated with Brisbane Band “Valtozash”. We often commission and perform Australian composers such as Elena Kats-Chernin and will be premiering a work of hers during our concert season this year.”

The Fortitude Music Hall’s John Collins (JC) says the chance to pull together this kind of talent was a no-brainer. “We’re absolutely chuffed that the Federal Government have come on board to support this. It’s the first time we’ve done anything like it and it’s going to be so special hearing such a full sound behind some of our best talent with The Fortitude’s epic acoustics. Our team have a huge line up planned for the series and we can’t wait to share it with you.”

Federal Member for Brisbane Trevor Evans said “We’re thrilled to support Brisbane’s very own The Fortitude Music Hall and Queensland Symphony Orchestra on this unique and compelling event. It’s exciting to see live music back in Brisbane again and these concerts are a great step forward in helping the local arts community recover from what has been a very difficult year, for both artists and audiences. A strong and thriving creative and cultural sector is imperative in rebuilding our local economy after COVID-19”.

The Strings Attached line up will be announced in early 2021.

BOOTLEG RASCAL ANNOUNCE ‘STRAIGHT OUTTA LOCKDOWN’ TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUEST SAINT LANE

by the partae December 16, 2020
written by the partae

Gold Coast-based party starters Bootleg Rascal have just announced a 14-date East Coast tour across metro and regional areas.

The group will traverse the country, stopping off at Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Wollongong, Canberra, Sydney, Central Coast, Frankston, Melbourne, Geelong, Belgrave, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Hobart and Caltowie.

“After moving and cancelling a bunch of dates in 2020, it feels good to finally be announcing something that is more likely to go ahead,” says guitarist Jimmy Young. “Anyone who knows us well, understands how important playing live shows is to us, so fingers crossed we’ll be able to get out there and make up for lost time with some banging parties.”

Gold Coast-based New Zealand born rapper Saint Lane will join the lads on all dates (excluding Sunshine Coast, Hobart and Caltowie). The rapper burst onto the scene in 2019, picking up praise from the likes of triple j, The Needle Drop, NME, The Guardian, GQ, Billboard and Beats 1 with Briggs. He’s also traversed the country, sharing stages with Lime Cordiale, JID and Bootleg Rascal.

Since their mid-2013 inception, Bootleg Rascal have released a slew of singles, two EP’s and two albums, all warmly received by critics and fans around the world, with support from the likes of NME, The Line of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, Pilerats and Wonderland Magazine. Multiple tracks have been added to Spotify and Apple Music playlists, high rotation on triple j and they’ve performed on the station’s esteemed ‘Like a Version’ segment.

The band have continually traversed the globe playing multiple sold out headline shows in France, UK, Holland, Germany, New Zealand and Australia, and performed sold out shows in the USA. They’ve also regularly appeared on major Australian festivals including Falls Festival, The Big Pineapple Festival, Lost Paradise, Hills are Alive, Festival of the Sun and Party in the Paddock. 

The group are currently in the studio working on another record, set for release in early 2021. In the coming weeks, they’ll also announce a scavenger hunt for free tickets and merchandise, that will launch via their social media platforms.

Having announced last week his first live show for 2021, tickets to Running Touch’s home-town show at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday Feb 5th will go onsale today at midday from here.

Featuring NORTHEAST PARTY HOUSE (DJ SET), KULT KYSS & special guest ADULT ART CLUB, the one night only show will leadoff another industrious year for Running Touch with more live shows and new music released.

Running Touch is undeniably an enigmatic master-of-all-trades: A songwriter, producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and creative director whose work stretches beyond limits to create not just art – but entire, multi-sensory universes. His live show is continuing to expand into the often-unexpected; allowing the Running Touch universe to come to life in a way it was always built to be – electrifying and unpredictable, influenced by the likes of everything from Biohazard to Cirque Du Soleil, hardcore to pop to electronic, and created with the idea of encouraging an all-encompassing theatrical experience, rather than just a show alone.

Distinct, thrilling and downright enchanting, Running Touch relishes a pure enigmatic aura. After a wildly successful few years, Running Touch sits on an APRA award for ‘BEST DANCE WORK’ for his hit collaboration with Hayden James ‘Better Together’, four gold selling records and one platinum for hit records such as WHEN I’M AROUND YOU, BETTER TOGETHER, MY HANDS and THIS IS JUST TO SAY and is no stranger to the main stages of Australia’s biggest festivals.

Unexpected and electrifying, Running Touch exemplifies a tastemaker mood all projects he is a part of (OCEAN GROVE & ADULT ART CLUB) and now is the chance to witness the enchanting Running Touch live at the Bowl.

TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT JIMMYEATWORLDLIVE.COM

A year, a week and a day from their last live performance at KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas, critically acclaimed alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World are excited to announce Phoenix Sessions, a global stream performance series in partnership with Danny Wimmer Presents.
To kick off 2021, the band will come together for one-of-a-kind performances of three “chapters” in their storied career. Beginning January 16th in Australia with a performance of their 10th studio album SURVIVING (Chapter X), which has only been seen live by the lucky fans who made it to the shows last October, followed by FUTURES (Chapter V) on January 30th and CLARITY (Chapter III) on February 13th.  Recorded at the Icehouse in Phoenix, AZ, the virtual events will feature the band performing each album in its entirety for a full concert experience.  Each show will start at 9am AEDT and will be available on demand for 72 hours post stream at JimmyEatWorldLive.com.
“We are always looking for ways to challenge ourselves, to do things as music fans that we think would be cool for OUR fans. We came up with the idea of presenting a series of concert films centred around a few specific albums (for now) and performing them on a different level. It isn’t the way we normally play a show and it’s definitely something new for how we approach a performance, but we haven’t been able to share the experience with our fans in over a year… so here we go!” – Jim Adkins

Global Stream Performance Dates for Australia
9am AEDT January 16 – Chapter X – Surviving
9am AEDT January 30 – Chapter V – Futures

BRUNSWICK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2021 - DATES ANNOUNCED!
Festival NewsMusic News

BRUNSWICK MUSIC FESTIVAL 2021 – DATES ANNOUNCED!

by the partae December 16, 2020
written by the partae

BRUNSWICK MUSIC FESTIVAL  2021 DATES ANNOUNCED

5-14 MARCH 2021 – SEE YOU THERE!

After being paused mid-dance in 2020, Brunswick Music Festival is pleased to hit play on live music again in 2021.

In a shorter 10-day format from March 5-14 (taking in the Labour Day long weekend) BMF 2021 will focus on creating opportunities for people to gather and connect IRL with a stacked program of live music experiences.

With beloved musical festivals like Golden Plains and Port Fairy Folk Festival on unavoidable temporary hiatus, BMF will be doing all it can to bridge the gap and contribute to helping the local community find its feet.

The line-up will drop Tuesday February 2 but in the meantime, the organisers have revealed that an exciting new outdoor venue at a secret location in Brunswick will be the centrepiece of the program.

In addition to this breezy new location, the program will prioritise celebrating Brunswick’s amazing live music venues, all of which suffered greatly during Melbourne’s periods of prolonged lockdown and which we all missed so badly.

Since the needle skipped on 2020’s event the world as we know it has turned upside down. Now more than ever, music and opportunities to come together feel essential and the principles BMF is built on – neighbourhood and community, inclusivity, diversity and sustainability along with creating a sense of place and safe spaces – are less like ideals and more like non-negotiables.

BMF 2021 is set to comprise a collective exhale, a healthy dose of togetherness, a huge cup of joy and some really, really, really exciting live music experiences. Watch this space.

written by the partae

Outstanding line-up announced for BASSINTHEGRASS 2021 Music Festival

Some of the best names in Australian music are set to perform at the Northern Territory’s biggest and longest-running music festival, with (in alphabetical order) DMA’s, G Flip, Lime Cordiale and Ocean Alley added to the artists previously announced!

BASSINTHEGRASS will take place at Darwin’s iconic Mindil Beach on Saturday, 15 May 2021 with a slew of nationally and internationally-renowned artists to take to the stage.

An epic line-up has been secured for the all-ages event, with the following artists confirmed (in alphabetical order):

  • Boo Seeka
  • ChillinIT
  • DMA’S
  • G Flip
  • Hayden James
  • ILLY
  • Jack River
  • The Jungle Giants
  • Lime Cordiale
  • Missy Higgins
  • Ocean Alley
  • Peking Duk
  • The Rubens
  • SAFIA
  • Thelma Plum
  • Violent Soho

The 2021 event returns after a record-breaking BASSINTHEGRASS 2019, which saw 10,000 festivalgoers converge on Mindil Beach.

Heading into its 18th year, BASSINTHEGRASS 2021 will feature two main stages offering non-stop entertainment from midday to midnight, with attendees experiencing the Top End’s famous sunsets and warm, tropical weather.

Set to play at BASSINTHEGRASS – and in the Northern Territory for the first time – is Australian indie rock band The Jungle Giants.

Lead guitarist Cesira Aitken said the group was excited to come to Darwin to play BASSINTHEGRASS.

“It’s been such a long time between shows and this will be our first time in the Northern Territory,” she said.

“It’ll be a special time after such a weird year, we can’t wait!”

Australian electropop duo Boo Seeka – made up of Ben Gumbleton and Michael May – said they were keen to get back to the Top End for BASSINTHEGRASS.

“It’s easily one of our favourite festivals,” Michael said.

“Darwin is such an awesome place and we’re both really looking forward to playing for fans at Mindil Beach next year in May.”

Northern Territory Major Events Company CEO Tim Watsford said he was stoked to confirm the line-up for next year’s BASSINTHEGRASS.

“With such a great selection of acts we expect music fans from around Australia to venture north, where they can soak up the sun, sand and good vibes at what has become an unmissable event for Territorians,” he said.

“BASSINTHEGRASS is the perfect excuse to start planning your Territory adventure.”

Limited general admission tickets are available for $105 until 1 February (unless sold out prior), when final release tickets will go on sale for $120. This event usually sells out.

A limited number of VIP tickets are also on offer for $220 + booking fee, giving attendees aged 18 and over a premium festival experience with access to a VIP area with private bars and bathrooms, a finger food package, four beverage vouchers and a souvenir stubbie cooler and ticket.

About BASSINTHEGRASS

BASSINTHEGRASS brings the nation’s top musical talent to Darwin, cementing its place as the biggest and best music festival in the Northern Territory.

Now in its 18th year, the licensed all-ages event is supported by the Northern Territory Government.

Prior to its relocation in 2019 to Mindil Beach, BASSINTHEGRASS was held at the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens. The move to Mindil Beach allowed more fans to attend, making the festival bigger and better than ever.

The North Will Rise Again livecast festival Sat 30 Sunday 31 January 2021 with… The Charlatans Lightning Seeds Red Rum Club Ist Ist LIINES Zuzu

written by the partae
Legendary UK music icon John Robb (Louder Than War// the Membranes)  and Revo are putting on a series of big livecast gigs.
The first of which is at the end of January and will be headlined by the Charlatans in Manchester and by the Lightning Seeds in Liverpool with a diverse support bill of upcoming young bands.

We want to keep things moving in the pandemic affected music scene and it’s a celebration of the two cities common culture and links and the mayors are involved.The idea is to put a series of gigs on and employ local promoters, musicians and crews with the eventual aim of building up to create a cultural space in a disused cinema in the centre of Liverpool and abandoned old theatre in Manchester for rehearsal and cultural activities…

merci, mercy to make virtual appearances
within Splash this weekend

Saturday 19 December at 3pm AEDT
+ Sunday 20 December at 1pm AEDT

Sydney based singer-songwriter merci, mercy caps off a dream year, with the launch of her very own merci, mercy world within the popular Splash game on Roblox this Friday. The collaboration follows the November launch of a Tones & I world within the game.

Boasting more than 36 million players globally, Splash allows users to compete with one another to live out their music-making dreams and become a famous DJ. A central theme of the merci, mercy experience is leaving behind reality to escape to a fantasy netherworld. The activation will see merci, mercy interacting with Splash players in real-time, with users able to meet and greet merci, mercy, explore her unique world and collect special merchandise including her trademark hypercolour jacket as featured on her debut EP cover. Players will also be able to access a merci, mercy pack to use in their DJ sets, featuring sections of songs from her debut EP no thank you, no thanks.

The launch of the merci, mercy world within Splash is a fitting end to a wonderful, break-out year for the young artist, who released the aforementioned EP in October. Selected as Spotify’s Australian RADAR artist for 2020, merci, mercy’s music has woven its way into the hearts and minds of fans across the globe. Many of the songs on the EP, including the key singles ‘Fucked Myself Up’ and ‘Fall Apart’, along with fan favourites ‘Tequila & Lemonade’ and ‘Something You Like’ have been added to a myriad of playlists across Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon, and have found a home not just on local radio, but also on stations throughout the UK and Europe.

Earlier this month, the iconic UK based Mahogany Sessions released a recording of ‘Fall Apart’ on their popular YouTube channel. The video sees merci, mercy performing a beautiful, stripped back rendition of the song in a blue wonderland.

Last week, merci, mercy also unveiled a remix of ‘Fall Apart’ from US DJ/ producer MELVV. The remix offers a bouyant, colourful take on the original and is accompanied by a quirky visualiser that sees our favourite animated merci, mercy bobbing around in space.

“It’s really cool to see how MELVV perceived the song! When I wrote it, I was trying to justify to myself why I wasn’t allowing myself to fall in love and find someone special. It’s a simple thing of not feeling worthy enough to ever be loved by someone. This song made me feel a lot better about the whole silly situation. And now you can see me being silly floating around in my room in space.”

This recent remix follows one last month from local artist Basenji for ‘Tequila & Lemonade’ and another earlier in the year from imagiro for ‘Fucked Myself Up’. The remixes will all be brought together on a remix EP dropping in the New Year, along with additional mixes for the remainder of the EP tracks.

Following the launch of the merci, mercy world within Splash, merci, mercy will enjoy a brief break in Sydney over Christmas with her family, before heading to South Australia to kick off 2021 with a performance at Summer Sounds Festival on January 3.

Sunflower - Reveal Serene Accompanying Video Clip For 'Thin Skin'
Festival NewsMusic News

Sunflower – Reveal Serene Accompanying Video Clip For ‘Thin Skin’

by the partae December 14, 2020
written by the partae

PRAISE FOR ‘THIN SKIN’

“’Thin Skin’ possesses the optimistic hopes and joys of the 60s and 70s. Sunflower bring a dreamy, summer energy that contagiously puts a smile on your face and gives me shivers simultaneously.” – 4.5/5 stars
– Nkechi Anele – triple j (AUS)

“A song that moulds together swaying guitar melodies with rather quite enchanting vocals, deep with this emotional brightness that captures the group’s drive to share these meaningful bursts of indie-pop.”
– Pilerats (AUS)

Added to Apple Music playlist Mellow Days


Following on from the release of their critically praised single ‘Thin Skin’, Brisbane-based indie-pop group Sunflower have just returned with the tranquil accompanying video clip – directed by co-vocalist Lawson Doyle and filmed and edited by Aidan McCowan.

Shot across various iconic Brisbane locations including Fortitude Valley and Victoria Bridge, the clip sees co-vocalist Kahlia Ferguson journeying from busking on the streets of Brisbane to vast lush landscapes. The story follows Kahlia at one of her lowest points, before finding her sense of empowerment, seeing a visible shift in her body language from start to finish.

Kahlia describes the inspiration behind the clip:

“Filming the music video for ‘Thin Skin’ was a liberating experience for me. It’s such a deeply honest song, and I wanted the visuals to reflect that. My side-hustle at the moment is playing acoustic cover songs at venues, and it can completely drain me of inspiration and creativity at times. No matter how much you give yourself to the performance, there are always backs to you and people talk loudly and the manager asking you to turn the volume down. It gets me down when I let it. The whole scenario of the ‘Thin Skin’ music video is based around that experience. The character I play begins solemn and lost and finishes very free and empowered. I like the thought that I’m heading in the same direction. With as much love as we have for Brisbane, this feeling of ‘small town mentality’ was a massive inspiration behind the songwriting.”

To coincide with the release, the band will play at the Mountain Goat Valley Crawl and The Brightside, Brisbane, Stay Gold and Wrangler Studios, Melbourne and Oxford Arts Factory, Sydney in 2021. This continues on from recent performances at Yonder Festival in Imbil, Valley Fiesta, Brisbane and a sold-out headlining show at Black Bear Lodge.

Since release, the track has seen support from Apple Music, triple j, triple j Unearthed, Pilerats, The AU Review and a slew of Australian community radio stations. Previous singles ‘Better Days’ and ‘Get Yourself Together’ also received support from blogs Atwood Magazine (USA), The Music, Beat Magazine, and TV outlets MTV and ABC’s Rage.

‘Thin Skin’ is available worldwide now

Teasing it’s appearance over the last few weeks with cryptic social media posts, DARKWORLD gives 2 middle fingers to the year that’s been, announcing its inaugural event. As COVID in Australia eases, punters and live music goers are eagerly awaiting the return of full capacity to music venues statewide. Moving ahead the festival has managed to make ends meet within restricted capacity and are set to bring their mini dark-mofo style event to The Triffid on January 23rd early next year. Original plans of the inaugural festival were set for July 2020 but were quickly canned earlier on in the year by - say no more... For a year that has been so crippling yet encouraging for many and, the DKWD vision has only become more relevant and important. What not celebrate Art right now? It is IMPORTANT! The festival comes as a result of unique collaborations between Brisbane creative misfits Boss Moxi, award winning dance collective Phluxus2, Brisbane’s loved venue The Triffid and local filmhouse, Method To My Madness. “We want to erase the blurred lines between these individual industries that often operate, and are mostly considered as separate. Music, Art, Theatre, Film, Lighting, Projections, Dance & Photography. We believe that creative expression lives at the core of all artistic practice and we want to promote these origins, the thing that all forms share. We plan to present ‘art’ in a momentary, livable space of its many sensory forms.” - DW2021 TEAM This is DARKWORLD: a 1 day, indoor, multi-form festival all crammed into 12 hours at The Triffid. From the glowing exhibits of local visual artists, to the live art growing and swimming around you, DARKWORLD plans to render the iconic Brisbane venue, unrecognisable. Based on the proceedings of a music festival with 12+ bands the dance and entertainment is planned to keep you fully engaged from midday to midnight. Kicking things off in the 11am heat, sunlit strangeness will lead into a full afternoon of art & music creeping patrons through to an upside-down-world, Twin Peaks-like setting that comes to life at night. Essentially this is a ‘fuck-you’ style celebration of the arts . Bringing all forms of art together as one community, celebrating our endless but sadistically enjoyable, struggling lives as creators and having a big piss-up / party to commemorate what an arduous year 2020 was. Following their sold out show back in early November Boss Moxi curates the music lineup, Gum Magazine calling their last Sold Out appearance in early Nov “a show not easily forgotten - a vast, deep, ephemeral example of what a band is truly capable of.” Joining them as headliners is the ever captivating, Young Lions, coming out of their hibernation that has been COVID with lead singer Zach Britt, caught in Melbourne this year eager to bring the band back to full energy at DW2021. From the illuminated art works of local tech and light auters to the abstract & detailed art and photography of local artists, DARKWORLD is now approaching, with tickets on sale now. The capacity is strictly limited at this stage, with hopes that the government will ease restrictions and Queensland remains COVID free over the Christmas break. Tickets are available through the DARKWORLD website but there aren’t many available so get in quick.
