MIKELANGELO
MELBOURNE
ALBUM LAUNCH
Dulcet-toned and immaculately coiffed, Australian
troubadour Mikelangelo is best known for his
rollicking gypsy yarns and Western-tinged balladry.
But for this special series of shows launching his new
album Melbourne, he trades the Balkan woodlands
and tumbleweed-blown plains for something closer
to home – a haunting ode to his adopted hometown.
Layered with cinematic visuals, and featuring close
to 20 collaborators – including the inimitable Clare
St Clare and electronic artist Miles Brown (The Night
Terrors) – these performances are a stirring personal
tribute to the grey-skied city we call home.

TUBA
SKINNY
Channeling the upbeat sounds of 1920 New Orleans,
globe-trotting jazz phenomenon Tuba Skinny are an
eight-piece force of nature. A ragtime whirlwind of
tuba, washboard, trombone, banjo and more, Tuba
Skinny are driven by their love of Depression-era
blues and hollerin’, take-no-prisoners jazz.
Playing with barnstorming energy and reckless
improvised enthusiasm, they’re the closest you’re
going to come to that old fashioned New Orleans
sound without access to a damn fine time machine.
