Jason Molina is
not one to settle.
Throughout his
musical career of 12 plus years under his given
name, Songs:
Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co., he has lived
in 9 different locations and produced music
that ranges from edgy, heart wrenching starkness
to
uplifting, ragged & rollicking rock, all
characterised with a depth of emotion in his
voice, lyrics & the playing that has rarely
been so well executed in music of any era.
In 2002 Jason Molina toured Australia as a
guest of Art of Fighting & received a deservedly
rapturous response to his spellbinding live
solo performances, but it has
taken
some time for him to work his way back to Australia.
Thankfully,
to coincide with the release of his new Magnolia
Electric Co. album, Fading
Trails, out now, he will at last be
undertaking a full solo
tour of Australia (& New Zealand), even
including a date in Hobart.
Dates:
Tuesday November 14 - The Troubadour, Brisbane
Wednesday November 15 - The
Hopetoun, Sydney
Thursday November 16 - The
Hopetoun, Sydney
Saturday November 18 - The Venue, Hobart
Sunday November 19 - Northcote Social Club, Melbourne
Tuesday November 21 - Grace Emily Hotel, Adelaide

DJ, producer
and vinyl aficionado Boca 45 aka Scott Hendy
arrives on Australian shores soon to spread
the of his widely renowned dj talents and delight
dance floors.
The funk hop brother has been tearing up dancehalls
the world over with his unique style under
the guise Boca 45 or with his partner in crime
Andy Smith as Dynamo Productions.
Following the success of Pitch Sounds, Scott’s
Australian tour coincides with his forthcoming
release Vertigo Sounds. Vertigo
Sounds is an album of full-flavoured organic sounding
soul and funk, deftly coupled with authentic,
crunchy, hiphop beats and b-boy breaks.
“I’m liking ruff but heavy sounding gear
at the moment. To me there’s so much
music that sounds too polished and over-produced.
I’m trying to make beats/hiphop tunes how they
might sound if they were made in 1968!”
Make sure you catch Boca 45 this time around – and
keep yr ear out for his new single “Vertigo”.
Dates:
Friday 29 Septembre– Melbourne, ‘Fractured’ at
Brown Alley

Fever’ at
