2SER’s Live at the Loft with HOLY BALM
The Loft UTS (15 Broadway, Ultimo)
5pm, FREE

Live At The Loft returns to the UTS Loft Bar on Broadway in August with the one and only Holy Balm.

Throbbing pulses, icy synths and a big nod to NY’s post-disco punk ethic, we’re figuring this Sydney electronic trio will happily be losing control when they play 2SER’s Live At The Loft on Thursday August 15 at 5pm.

You can hear the whole set on air live or come down to be in the audience for the broadcast.

For the first time ever, Honi Soit is bringing you HONI SOIRÉE: a night of debauchery and redemption, music and (probably some) silence. In simpler terms, it’ll be a showcase of the best in independent, local music as well as up-and-coming student talent.

All proceeds from the SOIRÉE will go back to the Red Rattler, one of the coolest community arts spaces in the inner west. While the Rat has technically already been “saved”, we think they deserve all the love and money we can afford to give them.

So, come dance with us! You’ll be helping keep the local arts and culture scene alive with every hip thrust and head nod. But it’s not like you needed a reason to party, right?

Ears Have Ears, FBi Radio Presents #3 feat:

THOMAS WILLIAM VS SCISSOR LOCK
KNITTED ABYSS
HORSE MACGYVER

  • Ears Have Ears Djs

Ears Have Ears, FBi’s weekly experimental music program presents the third in a series of live shows bringing together some of Australia’s most exciting experimental musicians to perform in some of Sydney’s more unique venues.

Ears Have Ears Presents #3 features three acts at the forefront of Sydney’s experimental and independent music community under various guises.

THOMAS WILLIAM VS SCISSOR LOCK

Thomas William Vs Scissor Lock is the collaborative project of Tom Smith and Marcus Whale.

Tom is a mainstay of Sydney’s experimental music scene – a curator, teacher and musician, most recently releasing the highly acclaimed ‘Deccan Technicolour’ via Melbourne label This Thing and curating Firstdraft’s Night Depot as part of ISEA, Vivid.

Scissor Lock aka Marcus Whale is best known for his work in Collarbones (with Travis Cook) & Black Vanilla (with Guerre & Marseilles). As Scissor Lock he combines manipulated voice and feedback with laptop processing.

In duo mode, Thomas William Vs Scissor Lock create detailed soundscapes which fuse individual styles effortlessly, as realised on their excellent 2012 album ‘Jewelz’ via New Weird Australia and 2013 original contribution ‘Dreams Have Dreams’ made exclusively for Ears Have Ears radio last year.

Scissor Lock: https://www.facebook.com/scissor0lock

‘Jewelz’ on New Weird Australia: http://newweirdaustralia.com/projects/thomas-william-vs-scissor-lock-jewelz/

KNITTED ABYSS

Knitted Abyss is the resurrected duo of Lucy Phelan (ex NOTV, currently of Half High duo) and Anna John (Holy Balm). The pair sprung out of Sydney’s DIY scene in the 00’s – releasing small-run cassettes of unique guitar, pedal and drum machine driven audioscapes on Night People and Bumtapes before laying the project to rest some years back.

At Ears Have Ears Presents #3 Knitted Abyss play their first Sydney show in a number of years – not to be missed! We feel really honored to present this rare KA performance!!

HORSE MACGYVER

Third on the lineup is self-proclaimed loser concrete soloist Horse MacGyver aka Tim Dwyer. Horse MacGyver’s distinctive electronic excusions have seen him billed with Witch house legends oOoOO (USA) and Butterclock (Fr) as well as Standish/Carlyon and Kirin J Callinan. Beyond his a recent cassette release, Tim is also part of Zonk Vision, an audio/visual collective making psychedelic inclusive low art.

SAD TEEN POETRY (+ OPEN MIC!)
DJ UNBREAK MY HEART
THE SADDEST PROJECTIONS IN THE WORLD

Teenaged emotional house diva Namine’s debut album “Celestial Love” (Bossman Records) is a Wagnerian outpouring of pathos if ever I saw one and we are ever saddened to launch his epic trance ballads in live form.

Joining Namine are sad sacks Golden Blonde who are soon releasing their debut album, “Gwen” on Tenzenmen.

Opening up the night we have a devastating lineup of writers revisiting the saddest, most embarrassingly overwrought poetry of their youth. There’ll be an OPEN MIC section for this, post in the event or sign up on the night for the opportunity to shed the very fabric of your soul onto an unsuspecting public.

All this on a Thursday, the saddest night of the week.
