Play Scar Perth Album Launch
Wednesday September 1, 8pm
The Ellington Jazz Club, 191 Beaufort St, Perth

Chris Abrahams launches his new album Play Scar (Room 40), at Perth's premier jazz venue, The Ellington Jazz Club, on Wednesday September 1 from 8pm. Support comes from local guitar/noise maestro Craig McElhinney.

Chris Abrahams is best known for his work as the pianist for The Necks. In addition to his work with the Sydney-based jazz trio, Abrahams has a career stretching back over 25 years, including solo albums, several collaborations with Melanie Oxley, as well as in soundtrack composition.

Play Scar rolls from minimalism to musique concrete as Abrahams builds sweeping aural landscapes and hypnotic rhythm. Despite being full of diversity and juxtaposition, the record still manages to form a complete and coherent whole. Play Scar has rightly received brilliant reviews - it is a challenging, complex and breathtakingly beautiful body of work.

smRts album launch

rosemount hotel

Local instrumental combo smRts are launching their debut album “sun sets on a new tomorrow” at the Rosemount Hotel on Friday 10 September 2010.

“sun sets on a new tomorrow” was recorded by one of smRts’ guitarist Matt Bairstow and Will Hooper (Wind Waker’s bassist). Recording took place at smRts’ practice place by using a dozen of microphones carefully placed on the equipment and around the room. Matt has then spent a couple of months mixing the tracks and the recordings were sent to Bob Weston (Shellac, Mission of Burma) at Chicago Mastering Services for final mastering.

The end result is 35 minutes of heart-warming upbeat melancholic melodies and strong rhythms. “sun sets on a new tomorrow” takes on European late 60s/early 70s pop and surf music and dives into the depths of Eastern European traditional and classical music.

The album will be launched on Friday 10 September 2010 at the Rosemount Hotel with special guests: awesome jazz youngsters Rolling Pin, surf/prog trio Wind Waker and favourite newcomers Erasers. $10, doors open 8pm.

Low bring their mesmerizingly brilliant and critically-acclaimed brand of indie rock to the newly-refurbished Bakery on Saturday, October 23.

Formed in 1993 in Duluth, Minnesota, Low are famed for their stark and unique sound (often referred to as slowcore) that recalls the drama of Joy Division, the intensity of Big Black and the harmony of a church choir.

Drums and Guns, the band's latest album, features minimalist drum loops working alongside subtle melody to lay the foundations for chilling vocal harmonies that are, as always, the heart of Low's sound.

Performing material from across their entire catalogue, Low's live show wraps the audience in a web of breathtaking sonic intensity and magnetic songsmithery.

With local support from Schvendes and Erasers, this promises to be an unmissable night of spine-tingling harmonies and starkly beautiful soundscapes.

Saturday, November 27 in Beaufort Street, Highgate and Mount Lawley.

Beaufort Street has always been at the heart of cool, alternative, independent culture in Perth, so its high time that we got a festival to celebrate the music, art, fashion and food that make the precinct so special.

The Beaufort Street Festival will showcase the cutting-edge talent and diversity of Perths musicians, artists, designers and culinary tastemakers on Saturday November 27.

Perth's cultural hub will come alive with unique, quirky and stylish displays of bands, temporary art exhibitions and fashion parades, with the action taking place on the streets, in shops, cafes, bars and laneways.

The festival is the brainchild of the Beaufort Street Network, a collective of local businesses and residents, and they're looking for help to make the event a representation of all that the Beaufort Street precinct has to offer. Accordingly, the Network is putting the call-out for community involvement.

If there's something youd like to see be part of the festival, or if youd simply like to volunteer your time, contact Festival Director Dave Cutbush on 0400 498 362 or at festival@beaufortstreet.com.au.

In the screen space is the first ever screening in Australia of Spanish/German artist Ignacio Uriate's work: The History of the Typewriter Recited by Michael Winslow.
