There’s plenty of after-hours, in-the-dark, fun to be had around Sydney with a range of arts, music and laughs on offering.
We’ve had a look at a few events sure to lighten your dark road into winter in the upcoming weeks.
Jump on board the Hot Tub Time Machine with DJ Tom Loud
Get your dancing shoes on while DJ Tom Loud brings his late night festival interactive dance show back to Sydney for one night only this Saturday. He’ll be playing dub tracks from 1954 all the way through to 2012, with an array of visual mixing including projection screens, live video mash-ups and turntable extravaganza.
“Hot Dub Time Machine is a party for everyone!” Loud explained. There will be all varieties of music from “swing, rockabilly, Motown, the Stones, the Beatles, disco, 80s kitsch, hip hop, grunge, techno and dubstep all in about 3 hours!”
“People should expect to rock out and have a great time!” Loud enthused. “I have some technical trickery that allows me to mix and mashup vision as well as audio from my turntables, so there are massive screens with bits of film, tv and music videos that accompany every song.” Sounds like a great way to while away some weekend time.
Become enthralled by sensory overload at the Migration Exhibit
Migration is the first international pop up art show by ARNDT, running until July 10. The mesmerizing and exciting visual art development featuring paintings, collage, video installations, sculpture and more is the mastermind of Berlin gallerist Matthias Arndt. The exhibition runs over three tight stories with a quality display of works from 33 European, North American and Asian artists with works priced from $6,000 to $500,000. A must-see is Bill Viola’s “Acceptance,” which is truly mesmerizing in person and which can’t be done true justice on video recording.
Arndt is aiming to bring emerging and established artists to Australia. “The pop-up concept gives me the opportunity of bringing together a group of celebrated international artists in this vibrant art landscape in the Southern Hemisphere and forms a major part of my new initiative of working in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region,” Arndt explained. Enjoy some quiet exhibition time here, as the gallery is tucked away secretly from the crowds thronging at other art contemporaries.
Join the musical Day Job Roadshow with Briscoe
Sydney six-piece, tribal-inspired, face-painted band Briscoe are touring in May in light of their new single “Day Job,” the follow-up from “Animal” from their first album Friends Ago. The sounds are country-tinged power rock-pop fronted by ex-Kid Confucius drummer Bart Denaro.
The single and the album were both produced independently by Denaro and the band, recorded mostly in their bedrooms and lounge rooms after work. Briscoe initiated in 2010 when Bart was joined by Jacob Sewell (guitar, vocals), David Anderson (bass), Kate Anderson (keys, vocals), Dee Dee Pask (synth, percussion, vocals), and Ross Ferraro (drums). The band members are spreading their musical love in all directions and spectrums, as they have at one time been a part of other acts including The Ray Mann Three, Gin Wigmore, Ngaiire, Dusker and Ranger Spacey.
