Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins: Partners in both music and love, G&D’s performance as part of the 2014 Sydney Festival will inject the funk and soul into the week. After being introduced to Muldrow while working on his own solo project, Perkins’ attraction to this smooth singing sensation was not only personal but musical. They mix funk, soul and hip hop as well as an array of sounds to create their own individual art that oozes originality, realism and optimism.
Thu, Jan 23, Sydney Town Hall, George St
Sinkane: His sound is spacey and multidimensional, something which Brooklyn-based musician and front man Ahmed Gallab prizes in his creative outlet. Their latest album Mars was met with high appreciation. What sets Gallab’s work apart from his contemporaries is his life experience. Born and raised in Sudan, Gallab garnered influence from both traditional and western genres of music that ultimately led him to pursue his interests playing in bands such as Yeasayer, Caribou and Montreal.
Fri, Jan 24, The Spiegeltent, Hyde Park
Hat Fitz & Cara: Another husband and wife duo, Cara Robinson and her beloved ‘Fitzy’ were united across the pond in Robinson’s Irish home. Since then it’s a musical partnership that could not be severed, even though a near-fatal car accident left Robinson struggling to recuperate. Their music is a combination of the traditional bluesy guitar and Robinson’s soul-filled vocals, skilled drumming and flute playing. Their set promises laughs and dance-worthy collaborations.
Sat, Jan 25, The Basement, Circular Quay
Young Lions: A Brisbane five-piece with a penchant for torrid rock and roll, vocalist Zachary Britt and his men will be taking Oxford St by storm. Fresh off the release of their debut record Burn, their rock has been gracing the playlists of radio station trendsetters Triple J, as well as affording them supporting slots with hardcore anomalies Sienna Skies and Senses Fail. The boys are no strangers to the music scene, with some members having played for defunct bands The Dream The Chase, Amberain and Dream on Dreamer.
Sun, Jan 26, The Spectrum, Darlinghurst
The Lumineers: Ho Hey! Get ready to toe tap! All-American and delightfully optimistic, these darlings will be filling Enmore with infectious sing-alongs and glorious smiles. The lead single Ho Hey from their self-titled debut did the rounds on social media, garnering a spot in a number of television shows including Hart of Dixie and ultimately became a chart-topping hit throughout the world.
Tue, Jan 28, Enmore Theatre, Newtown
Toro Y Moi: He’s been dubbed as one of the forerunners for the ever growing ‘chillwave’ scene and has a plentiful list of side projects to maintain, yet somehow Toro Y Moi has enough time to bring the house down in Sydney. Rising out of South Carolina, Chazwick Bradley Bundick as he was deemed at birth, mashes together elements of electro, indie-pop and funk in the process of creating this original sound he is steadily gaining notoriety for. Tonight he will be supported by dance-inducers Portugal. The Man. (CD)
Wed, Jan 29, The Hi-Fi Sydney, Moore Park
