Together\, they tap into the psyche and emotive fabric of their subjects\, harnessing the power of narrative and verse with an informed historical approach and social conscience. \nProduced and recorded by Matt Walker and featuring Danny McKenna (drums) and Steve Hadley (bass)\, Land of Equal Share is the debut single from Above The Bit’s forthcoming self-titled album. Land of Equal Share will be officially released on October 18 with a limited edition 7” vinyl. \nIn a time of fake news and social dissent\, Above The Bit is as relevant as ever.

SUMMARY:LUCIE THORNE - KITTY & FRANK Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Painting landscapes with dream-soaked synths\, irresistible beats\, poetry and pathos\, Lucie Thorne presents her extraordinary new art/pop concept album Kitty & Frank. With Kitty & Frank\, Thorne traces the wild true stories of young frontier woman Kitty Walsh and her lover\, the charismatic bandit & bushranger Frank Gardiner. In the 1860’s Gold Fever came to Wheogo NSW and like Deadwood\, it didn’t end well. Delivered live with Thorne’s trademark storytelling warmth and charm\, Kitty & Frank inhabits a sonic world that calls to mind a meeting of David Bowie’s Blackstar and Kate Bush’s Ariel\, whilst spanning a tale of Shakespearean proportions. All this at the hands of one of Australia’s finest song-poets who has ventured to triumphant new ground with staggering certitude. \nLucie is touring far and wide throughout the spring to celebrate the album’s release – and for this Bendigo show she’ll be joined by stellar bandmates Hamish Stuart (drums) Alice Williams (bass & harmonies). \n“Thorne conjures a simple narrative flow that\, like a Raymond Carver story\, transforms everyday life into high art” (Canberra Times) \nhttp://www.luciethorne.com

SUMMARY:Georgie Currie EP Launch
DESCRIPTION:Georgie Currie is an Albury bred singer-songwriter bringing her debut EP ‘flowers for your worst days’ to Bendigo. \nGeorgie is no stranger to Bendigo after having visited the town and the Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival many a time with ten-piece folk/rock band The Northern Folk. \nGeorgie’s solo project is an entirely different beast. Her songs blend the broken\, intimate fears of youth with a vocal intensity beyond her years.
