Description.

New Weird Australia & Octopus pi present the first in a series of New Weird Australia live events at FBi Social in Kings Cross on Thursday 21st April 2011.

The night sees the long-overdue return of Sydney six-piece Underlapper, celebrating the launch of their third album ‘Sofly Harboured’ – an eclectic mix of post rock, experimental pop and downbeat electronic music, and the follow-up to the widely acclaimed 2007 album ‘Red Spring’.

In support, Sydney producer Cleptoclectics faces off against local compatriot Scissor Lock (fresh from the launch of his Collarbones collaboration), in the latest in their ongoing bouts of noise battles taking place in dark rooms across the city. Opening the night, solo artist Edwin Montgomery presents an inspired psychedelic tread through original songs, instrumentals and ambient textures. DJs Stupid Canon & Kimb Galercan fill the spaces along with projections from visual artist, Jeronimo.

Doors 8pm. Tickets $10 on the door. New Weird Australia at FBi Social (Kings Cross Hotel) is the first in an ongoing monthly series – the next event takes place on May 19th 2011 and is a showcase gig for our recent ‘New Young Canberra’ compilation, featuring Savages, Kasha, Reuben Ingall, DJ Shoeb Ahmad – more info to be announced, follow us on Facebook for updates.

Entry By Donation ($10 Minimum)

Three FBi radio shows, New Weird Australia, Unputdownable & Sunday Night At The Movies, come together to present ‘Unpopular Music’ – a benefit to support their station. They’ve pooled their collective networks and gathered twelve of Sydney’s innovative, experimental artists – all of whom are donating their time, with all proceeds going directly to FBi, helping to ensure the ongoing survival of Sydney’s home of new music.

Sydney design crew Sopp Collective have also jumped on board by donating their unique design talents for the event poster and flyer, featuring a unique series of ‘Unpopular Creatures’ – the degenerate ‘yin’ to Yo Gabba Gabba’s ‘yang’.
