LIVE WIRE – Sydney Live Music Guide May 1st

 

Caitlin Park: In honour of her second LP titled The Sleeper, Park will have audiences pumped. Sharing the stage with the likes of James Vincent McMorrow, Big Scary and Thelma Plum in the past means that she’s been showcased to so many, but this night is all about her. Park’s signature witty lyricism and abstract audio will be a wonderful feature.

Thu, May 1st, Venue505, Surry Hills.

State of Mind & DJ Trei: Feel the wrath of these legendary New Zealand producers with a double-bill of beats that will send fans spinning. They’ve made their mark across the drum and bass scene, and it will become clear as to why throughout State of Mind’s set. Working for a variety of labels, these guys have touched so many different musical projects and with DJ Trei bringing some solo work, this night will be a chance to hear their skills in one awesome space.

Fri, May 2nd, Chinese Laundry, Sussex St.

The Greg Osby Quartet: Performing as part of the venue’s International Winter Series, Mr Osby will make his unique mark in Sydney’s favourite underground venue. Hailing from the U.S., he’s a modern day jazz legend, with 15 albums of pure individuality. His career has been said to be “built on unusual chords, unorthodox turns of phrase and unconventional melodic ideas” – hear it for yourself. He will be joined by Matt McMahon, Alex Boneham and Tim Firth.

Sat, May 3rd, The Basement, Circular Quay.

La Fiesta: A Sunday night soirée that brings the earthy sounds of Reggaeton, Cumbia and Old Skool to the streets of Sydney. Through the capable hands of a DJ line-up which includes, Samantha Fox, Agee Ortiz, Av El Cubano and Willie Sabor, audiences can don their casual wear or their best beach gear for some chilled vibes and sweet dance moves.

Sun, May 4th, Establishment, George St.

Arctic Monkeys: The return of the mighty Sheffield quartet will no doubt send shivers down spines, but not for the obvious reasons. Though it’s undeniable that their latest album AM was a collection of sultry RnB-influenced rock gems, it’s their transformation from straight out ‘fish-n-chips’ humour and tangy riffage that really makes this show a must-see. To experience the Alex Turner of today as opposed to the quiet, statue-esque singer circa five years ago will no doubt excite the most dedicated fans.

Tues, May 6th, Qantas Credit Union Arena, Haymarket.

Blow: Lovers of pure unadulterated jazz will be in for a surprise like no other. Ted Vining, Bob Sedergreen, Peter Harper, Ian Dixon and Gareth Hill have been creating music based on their surroundings for the joy of the local scene. With no concrete sound, other than the unmistakable flourishes of jazz oozing from their fingertips, you’d be a fool to miss something so unique and spectacular. (CD)

Wed, May 7th, Foundry616, Ultimo.
