The Dress @ Vic On The Park, 19th Apr

“The Dress are perfectly pitched, immaculate and literate songwriting that cues you in on the Velvets, Buckley, and The National, weary beyond their years but youthfully scrappy. Cinematic and darkly poetic, it’s a smoky joy of a set.” Gallery

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.
