Solo Career @ The Lansdowne, Feb 3

“Solo Career is not here to make you dance, sing along, jump around, or jump up, or jump up, or even get down. Solo Career is here to make you *think*. This set is damn near incomprehensible at first, it is literally the opposite of instant. But as it drones and cranks and twinkles and rumbles, you realise you’re going to just have to go back and revisit the whole thing again, because there’s something crazy interesting in there. It’s like someone turned a James Joyce novel into a stage act. One of the most intriguing things I’ve heard in bloody ages.”

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
