We have a new act and a poster for the second Radiant Live!
I’m super stoked to have Single Twin opening. The solo project of former Deloris frontman Marcus Teague, he’s got an album coming out in a couple of months and will be playing a gorgeous solo set to open up proceedings. This lineup is wild, I hope you enjoy it and come early to see all four amazing bands.
Announcing Radiant Live #2 ft. Charge Group, Coolies (NZ) and Alps
I’m super super stoked to announce the second Radiant Live. The first one was a riot (thankyou to all who came!), and this one should be ridiculous. Poster coming soon.
When was the last time you saw Charge Group? It can’t have been recently, because it’s been over a year since their last Sydney show. But with a new album due for release later this year, we’re incredibly excited to welcome them back to the stage as headliners of the second Radiant Live. Comprised mostly of members of the fondly-remembered Purplene, Charge Group mix indie rock with gorgeous, violin laced soundscapes. It’s sure to be a thrill for those familiar, and a delight for those uninitiated.
Even harder to catch are South Auckland’s Coolies, who are making the leap across the Tasman for their first Australian tour in several years. With over a decade of history that includes lineup changes (they now feature Stefan aka legendary experimental musician Pumice on drums), releases on Kill Rock Stars/Chapter and international tours with Ariel Pink, Deerhoof, Erase Errata and plenty more, we’re stoked to have The Coolies bring their loose, noisy live show to Radiant Live.
Alps rounds out the lineup. One of Newcastle’s finest musicians, his latest record Alps Of New South Wails got a new batch of fans familiar with something that many of us have known for some time - that he’s a master of lo-fi pop. In fact, quite frankly, he’s too good to be opening bills. So it’s a thrill to have him complete what will be an unmissable lineup. Get there early, you need to see this set.
Time: 8pm Date: April 28, 2011 Location: FBi Social (Level 2, Kings Cross Hotel) - 248 William St, Kings Cross Price: $12 (on the door)
