Exciting news!

Augie March are headed to Anglesea and they’re bringing their hits with them! And Lisa Mitchell has just announced her album tour, with The Sound Doctor being one of her stops.

May 27 & 28 are going to be HUGE! Tickets for both shows are on sale now.

On Friday 27 May Augie March perform stripped back reinventions of many of their best-known songs in a show that not only reminds you why these guys created the soundtrack to the start of the century for many of us – but also why they’re still one of Australia’s most important bands. Supporting them are celebrated Aireys trio Victoriana Gaye.

On Saturday 28 May the sublime songbird Lisa Mitchell adds Anglesea to her album tour list, performing with her band. Lisa’s music consistently elicits an emotional response and this will be one special show. Especially given we have the transformative music of (we’re claiming her as a local) Chitra to start the night off right!

Looking ahead to October

Don’t miss Olympia, one of Australia’s most relentlessly original artists performing her highly anticipated new album ‘Flamingo’ live.

With her sophomore album FLAMINGO released on July 5, Olympia has a string of high profile tour dates across the globe.

Following critically acclaimed shows across the UK and Europe earlier this year, Olympia returns for the biggest headline tour of her career including the UK, Ireland, Europe and Australia, to deliver the bold, immersive vision that is ‘Flamingo’, with a full band in tow.

‘Flamingo’ is Olympia’s most personal record to date, full of risk, escalation, and the complex pop unspooling we’ve come to recognise in her work. Packed with insistent earworms the album struts boldy between the artists knack at crafting sophisticated pop tunes able to spring multiple moods, and the sizzle of sonics being pushed ever so into the red.

Her music has been compared to artists as disparate as Joey Santiago (Pixies), Anna Calvi and David Bowie.

Olivia Bartley, creative force behind the project, co-produced the upcoming album with long-time collaborator Burke Reid (Courtney Barnett, DMAs).

Olympia will be supported in Anglesea by Jess Ribeiro.

Milk! Records Goes Coastal

Turn the clock back to March 2018, when Jen Cloher blew the roof off the Anglesea Memorial Hall. No-one could have imagined how that humble building could have been transformed into a bona fide rock venue. Well it happened, and we’re planning on doing it all again this March when we bring three bands from Milk! Records (the label founded by Jen and Courtney Barnett) to town for one rocking show. This is one for the music fans, the people who are in the know (or want to be able to say I saw them when…). It’s a standing (get up and groove) show and it’s going to be big.

First up we introduce you to Hachiku (though if you caught Fraser A Gorman in August you may recognise the lead singer!). Hachiku is the brainchild of German bedroom-producer Anika Ostendorf, who writes and produces her home-made dream pop (think: Grimes, Perfume Genius and early CocoRosie) from whichever bedroom she is currently inhabiting.

 

Swept together from the ashes of your finest night on the tiles, Loose Tooth are a Melbourne three-piece who craft sweet guitar pop with frayed edges and swollen hearts. Whether they’re spluttering to life on an empty tank or hitting harmonies in full flight, seeing this trio really is a beautiful thing.

Jade Imagine, Melbourne’s low-fi, slacker-fuzz-dream pop band bathed in the glow of ’70s surf-music, was destined for greatness from the beginning. Jade McInally, front babe and brains, has been a stalwart of the indie scene since 2004 and since releasing their EP on Milk! Records her band has been getting bigger and better!

An Evening With Archie Roach

Since emerging in the early ‘90s, Australian singer-songwriter Archie Roach has enjoyed a stellar career, sharing the stage with some of the world’s most iconic artists. Perhaps best-known for his heartbreaking song, ‘Took the Child Away’, a deeply affecting ballad about his own experience as one of the Stolen Generations of First Nations’ children, Roach has released 11 albums including his most recent Dancing With My Spirit.

His music speaks the stories of his people, of this land and of the human condition. His voice – uniquely Australian and undeniably universal – resonates for us all and we are humbled to be able to share this special evening with our Sound Doctor audience.

‘[Archie’s] soulful voice, filled with love, pain, joy and wonderment is stronger and richer than ever.’ The West Australian

Meet Our Special Guest Support Acts

We’ve told you all about our exciting headline artists already, so now it’s time to introduce the special guests who’ll be opening our November gigs.

Jason Lowe is a name familiar to many music lovers on the Surf Coast. But for those who haven’t yet had the pleasure of hearing him perform, we asked him to describe his sound.

‘My sound could be described as Alternative/New Age Folk, inspired in particular by the legendary singer songwriters of the 60s and 70s. I sing and perform my songs on lap slide guitar, acoustic guitar and piano.

What I love most about performing live is connecting with the audience, and the energy exchange that takes place. The heightened emotional levels that can be experienced are profound. I reach out to an audience with my soul not only through song but through storytelling and personal interaction.’

If you take a look at this clip you’ll understand just what Jason means.

If it’s heavenly harmonies you’re after then it’s Broads you want to hear. We asked Kelly and Jane to tell us how they got started together and what they love about performing intimate shows – like you’ll experience when they come to Anglesea.

‘We were singing together for about 10 years before we decided to start Broads. We were one half of an acappella band called The Nymphs, but also got around as guest singers and backing vocalists for a whole bunch of different bands in Melbourne. It was a long time coming, but we eventually knew we had to create our own project.

We love intimate shows because the best feeling as a performer is when you really connect with an engaged audience. We often play with a full band these days, but being able to go back to our original form, as an acoustic duo, and create something personal and raw is such a rush. It’s why we do what we do!’

Check out their dreamy sound here!
