Any Young Mechanic, Maudlin, Falling Moon

We had a cancellation on this night but now we got a massive upgrade with one of our very favourite Australian bands deciding they wanted to do a little gig before heading back home :)

ANY YOUNG MECHANIC - Having taken their name from a line in ‘Hooray For Hollywood’ – inspired by the song’s jarring use in Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye – there is an aptly cinematic quality to Any Young Mechanic’s music.

On their debut album The Modern Shoe Is Ruining The Foot, the Tarntanya/Adelaide five-piece conjure up vivid, widescreen vistas that blend folk music’s enduring charms with a musical dexterity and sharp vision reaching beyond the genre’s usual corners.

A mesh of criss-crossing rhythmic paths, melodic alleys and lyrical highways, the record possesses an immediacy that quickly turns its 12 tracks into lifelong friends - though no two listens ever seem quite the same.

MAUDLIN - alt/rock/folk/indie

FRANKIE D - acoustic versions of songs usually played in bands like Dimensions and Kasper Hauser
