Bleak Squad
The Victoria, E8 3AS , [Venue Details]Bleak Squad is a new Melbourne four-piece comprised of true Australian art-rock royalty.
Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave &The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt), and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), the unlikely quartet unite for the first time on Bleak Squad’s brooding, noir-rock debut LP, Strange Love, which was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize.
Borne from spur-of-the-moment jam sessions, Strange Love sees all four members juggle multiple instruments, songwriting, their own idiosyncrasies, and lead vocal duties between Adalita and Harvey. The result is a confident nine-song set of love, loss and lonesome-ness, set to fizzing guitars, slippery bass lines, and the signature illogical squawk of Turner’s guitar. With Strange Love, Bleak Squad announce the boldest of entries into the Australian music landscape.
“…they should not be missed live: four Australian music greats with charisma to burn, uncanny chemistry, and a quality set of songs tailor-made for those long, dark nights of the soul.” Andrew Stafford, The Guardian.
Plus support from Jess Ribeiro.
