Brisbane Music Lineup announced!

Finders Keepers — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:15:44 +0000

Here is an introduction to the music that will be showcased at the upcoming Brisbane Finders Keepers at The Old Museum on Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th June! The live music is FREE for everyone to enjoy. Check out the below for the line up and some snippets of the bio’s of some featured musicians.

Saturday June 26th
12 noon: Spring Skier
1:30 pm: Matthew Vale
2:30pm: Dan Parsons
3:30pm: Hello Yoko

Sunday June 27th
12 noon: Cascadeer
1:30 pm: Bell Divers
2:30 pm: Charlie Mayfair
3:30 pm: Mr Maps

Spring Skier: What happens when Hungry Kids of Hungary vocalist Kane Mazlin and The Paper & the Plane bassist Remy Boccalatte get together? Apart from the usual creation of language to be added to popular culture, and the over-indulgence in barley based treats, music is also created in a somewhat reminiscent pop folk vein. With the combination of dual vocals that both explore an entire range, leading the way over melodic guitar and keyboard, it’s not hard to find yourself drift off into more nostalgic times. Open minded to explore in various percussion and range of instruments, Spring Skier is surely going to create something for everyone. Currently working on tracks for a debut release, keep your eyes on the pines and ears to the snow…

Dan Parsons: At just 22, it’s somewhat surprising that Dan Parsons has already been on the scene for a couple of years. Having made his foray into the musical world with his heritage-flavoured debut release Old Brown Shoe in 2007, Parsons continued on this path for a short time. Then after gradually being absorbed by a new musical world of peers and influences he found a new desire to make a different type of music. Bravely scrapping his next lot of release-bound recordings he decided to start from scratch and after six months of demoing and experimenting in his one-man-band style, Parsons created a new band and enlisted the help of Melbourne producer John Castle and collaborator James O’Brien (The Boat People) to complete the transition. With his debut album all but complete, flag-ship single ‘Run With Me’ is the opening taste of grander things to come.
While now taking his cue from modern indie classics like Wilco and Death Cab For Cutie, Parson’s ongoing journey sees him glancing into the rear view mirror at the history of artists that encompassed his childhood world. It’s a range of genres that he messes together seamlessly, somehow making you forget that they were really that different to begin with.

Cascadeer: are a handful of busybodies who sometimes pause to take rest amongst the rolling hills of Brisbane town and lend their talent and charm to the songs of ex-Canberran Kieran Ryan. The result is a sometimes floating, other times fiery journey of lyrical folk and layered harmonies. Their first 4 track recording was independently produced by Ryan. They have recently completed a mini tour of Sydney and Canberra with Voss (ACT) and amongst other things, have been called “truly a beautiful band to watch and to hear.” (Phil Smith, ABC Radio)

HELLO YOKO: are are a young Brisbane 5 piece band who have been known to craft some dangerously catchy indie/ pop tunes.
Charming audiences with beautiful vocal harmonies and a real honesty in song, HELLO YOKO always aim to deliver a captivating show that will win hearts and bring delight to the ears.
The band have been playing together as a duo since 2008 and with a full band from late 2009. They have spent most of last year working the Brisbane music scene. Drawing upon their noted influences of Sarah Blasko; Beach House, Washington and Arcade Fire; the band of multi-instrumentalists truly understands what it means to be songwriters.

Crafted Cubed as part of Craft Victoria

Finders Keepers — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 01:34:59 +0000

“A new annual festival of experimental, skilled and ideas-based craft and design. Craft Cubed will draw threads between skilled and cutting-edge craft trends at local, national and international levels. The festival offers a window into the making process through evolving collaborative exhibitions, workshops and a series of open studios. The theme for the inaugural Craft Cubed is CITY|COUNTRY. Local geographical boundaries have shifted dramatically in recent times. Populations are literally moving, profoundly effecting the environment, public space, urban planning and design. How is contemporary craft and design influencing these new forms of spatial engagement?”

Craft Cubed launches tomorrow night as part of Craft Victoria. Melbourne label Sunday Morning Designs, who were also apart of our last Sydney markets, have done a collaborative piece with Dylan Martorell that will be on display both in the Craft Victoria Window and also in Gallery 3. If you are in Melbourne there is lots to see and do including workshops on how to develop your craft/design into a business, for more info head here.
