New Weird Australia is supporting three unique Australian events this month, in Canberra, Perth and Sydney.
The Low Light Social on Saturday 14th January is a special evening of left field sound presented with Canberra’s hellosQuare Recordings, featuring six artists from around Australia and overseas who explore the common ground that sit nicely between electronic beat music, guitar folk forms, noise blasts and free jazz. The line-up features Tetras (Switzerland), Kangaroo Skull (Melbourne), Kasha (Canberra), Thomas William (Sydney), Spartak, Danger Beach + Mornings DJs. MORE INFO.
In Perth, Scitech, in partnership with New Weird Australia, presents a special pre-public holiday edition of their regular Analogue to Digital event on Wednesday 25th January. This mid-summer edition features a diverse line-up of Perth experimental musicians who all work towards developing a certain sonic intensity and ‘heat’ in their music, either through harsh distortion or spectral ambience. Acts playing at Scitech include Ourobonic Plague, Craig McElhinney, Furchick, No Hand Path, K Wilson, Brain Full of Light and guest speaker Adam Burgess, as well as a High Voltage Show in the Lottery West Science Theatre.
