Encroaching seas, wasted vistas, haunted bowling greens, roofing crises, seasonal oddities, war ghosts, hot cannon sex, right wing jellyfish plagues, privatised everything, rotten wealth hoarding mock religious born to rule grey souls flaying the system...a collective psyche shattered, melted down and glazed into a visionless mirror of THE FUTURE TO COME. It’s the year 2000 and a raw little outfit called Augie March enter a studio with the aim of holding that mirror up to a society in the telltale throes of what we would look back on in a misty manner as the last decade of hope - the nineties.
Twenty years on the mirror is a filthy window and the ghouls keep having their time. Was it our fault? Yes. Did we invoke the horrors to come? Probably. Yes. Should we merry band of seers be held to account for merely seeing and telling, and definitely conjuring forth this awful present? Well, you’ll get your chance to do just that at the Melbourne Recital Centre where we will play from Go (buy a ticket) to Woe (is you) our prescient debut, and the first tour of several de forces, Sunset Studies.
NOW ANNOUNCING A SECOND MELBOURNE SHOW ON THURSDAY 14 MAY.
Tickets available from 9am today.
Roll on you careless evenings…
