BUCK
65
He’s been called the Tom Waits
of hip-hop, and that’s as good a
label as any for Canadian art-rap
renegade Buck 65, aka Richard
Terfry.
Buck 65’s music started out as
hip-hop. There’s still a strong whiff
of that tradition, but it has evolved
into something else. Taking rap
on a charming detour through the
backwoods of rock, country, blues
and indie-folk, Buck 65 showcases
a raft of songs from his extensive
back catalogue, and unveils
tunes from his brand new album
Neverlove.

JOSH T.
A MOVING
PEARSON SOUND
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
After a decade in the wilderness,
Josh T. Pearson – one-time frontman
to the critically revered but shortlived band Lift to Experience – burst
back on to the scene with his 2011
release: the masterful, melancholic
Last of the Country Gentlemen, an
album that made appearances
on many a top 10 list in its year of
release and garnered the acclaim of
such music luminaries as The Dirty
Three, Mark Lanegan and Elbow
frontman Guy Garvey.
Fronting for a long-awaited
Australian premiere, Pearson
plies his bruised, confessional
and impossibly intimate blending
of country and folk – marvels of
Southern lyricism and musical
salvation.
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Fusing traditional Taiwanese
and Chinese influences with a
global sensibility, award-winning
ensemble A Moving Sound have
built a worldwide following
through their joyous mix of music,
dance and intoxicating call and
response.

Bringing together the distinctive
timbres of the erhu (Chinese fiddle)
and zhong ruan (lute), along with
bass, drums and the transcendent
vocals of Mia Hsieh, A Moving
Sound have devised a unique and
compelling style that is all their
own – a pan-Asian whirlwind that
veers between the meditative and
the exuberant with irrepressible
spirit.
