KARLI WHITE AT PUBLIC BAR 2 AUGUST 2015

Just 2 weeks since my first visit to the Public Bar in Melbourne and I find myself there once again (can ya believe it!).

KARLI WHITE

Something of a recent enigma to me, Karli White played first at 5:30pm sharp which felt damn early for such nocturnal sounds but people got into it, myself included.  This song is "Feel Less" from a new cassette EP "Karli White's Childhood Scissors" on Comfort 35.

The Shifters also played and they were fantastic and I can not recommend them highly enough.  I was unable to find a good position to get any decent footage as the room had filled with a few people by that point although I did take this lovely picture for you:

ELLI AND BEV / SECRET VALLEY / SARAH MARY CHADWICK AT PUBLIC BAR 19 JULY 2015

Sunday evening show in Melbourne.

ELLI AND BEV

Elli And Bev are Natalie K (Secret Valley, The Enclosures) and Karl von B (Hammering The Cramps, A Band Called Life).  2 piece loner electronic minimalism with a dark heaviness in their delivery even when they're a little unsure of themselves.  The EP that Albert's Basement put out last year is a damn fine and underrated release.

---

SECRET VALLEY

Secret Valley are another Albert's Basement favourite of mine, their 2013 s/t album being a modern bedroom pop classic in my mind.  This song is Glitter Lung from that very release.

SARAH MARY CHADWICK 

Sarah Mary Chadwick is one of my favourite singer/songwriters.  I still listen to Eating For Two fairly regularly and it hasn't lost its power.  This set was mostly newer material from 9 Classic Tracks and some other stuff.  Darn good.
