Some of Melbourne's best funk, blues and folk musicians will come together for a
night of heartfelt melodies, soulful rock and dance rhythms to tantalise
audiences - and to raise some needed dollars for a worthy cause.
All monies raised will be used to further Nuclear Free Australia's community
campaign against the dirty and dangerous nuclear industry in Australia.
The Band Who Knew Too Much will set the floor alight. They are a bona-fide
fool-proof floor packing band. Australian songs propelled by energetic
jazz-like woodchop rhythm add some strong local lyric with gang vocal delivery
and their unique sound is complete.
Monique will tantalise the audience with her unique brand of soulful rock.
Brumby has the unique ability to tap into the human consciousness through her
writing. Stylistically, Brumby crosses various genres in her music. Not content
to be musically pigeonholed, her songs encompass elements of rock, pop, blues
and soul. They are lyrically honest, entertaining, emotive and thought
provoking. As her strong live following will attest, Brumby is a powerful and
charismatic performer.
Whoever said It's not our revolution if we can't dance to it! had a very good
point. "It feels so good to dance and think at the same time!" - said a happy
Conch fan. The Conch! are a 10 piece orchestra playing a dynamic mix of Ska,
Reggae, Latin, funk, hip-hop, swing and more. We'll get you off your seat, onto
the dance floor and into the street! In the same spirit as progressive artists
such as Spearhead, Asian Dub Foundation, Manu Chao, Ozomatli and Rage against
the Machine, The Conch plays music for change! The Conch is short for
Conciousness. Don't just get angry, get funky!
Rosie Burgess is sure to warm many a heart. Playing straight from the heart,
Rosie's quirky and original tunes are captivating audiences wherever she goes.
Her high energy live shows and many live-to-air radio performances have secured
her a growing fan base of acoustic roots and folk lovers around the globe.
Jed Rowe explores a diverse range of styles from folk, blues, reggae, world
music and rock, with occasional hints of exploratory jazz in the vocal delivery,
his songs have a diversity that reaches beyond the easy genre categorisation of
"roots music" - it is simply interesting music, using strong melodies and
rhythms to tell good stories with wit, heart and soul. The instrumentation is
acoustic - acoustic guitar and lap steel, wooden stompbox and foot percussion
interwoven with Rowe's classical and jazz trained voice
The music will be stunning and the cause is all important - be a part of
something special which is more than just a good night out. And for all the info
