Tin Pan Orange

at mojos bar

Monday, March 5, Come and say farewell to Tin Pan Orange before they head off to Canada for Spring. This will be an intimate Mojos Bar show and we're pleased to announce that Jordie Lane (VIC) will be opening the night.

Six-foot frontwoman for Tin Pan Orange, Emily Lubitz twirls her flaming red hair out across a complex and original musical creation, in which virtuoso instrumental performances and pulsating rhythms merge to form a wholly unique sound. Imagine Edith Piaf in the body of Mrs Jessica Rabbit, wandering through a landscape of suburban fairy tales and electric static clouds. Guitarist Jesse Lubitz thumps up dust from the floor of the stage, the drums rumble, the organ whirrs, and up over the top of everything floats the prodigal Alex Burkoy’s achingly sad violin.

Since their early days as Australian folk darlings, brother-and-sister duo Tinpan Orange have evolved into a dizzyingly original musical force. Still evident is the lush songcraft and lyrical depth for which they are renowned, but the landscape in which the songs are set has shifted.

Presale tickets are $17+bf thru www.heatseeker.com.au or $20 on the night from 8pm.

OKA

Here we find them with their 6th studio album ‘Milk & Honey’ that hints to be their most exciting yet.  Incorporating flavours of Dub, Electronica, Hip-hop, Jazz & many forms of world music, OKA’s sound can sometimes be hard to describe. It’s better if you just come down and check them & Bondi reggae folk artist Declan Kelly who’s supporting both nights. Tickets are $18 presale thru www.okamusic.com & $20 at the door on the night from 8pm on the Thursday & 6pm on the Sunday.
