Laura Imbruglia
MELB SHOW ONLY
Laura Imbruglia is bringing her just-released fourth album Scared Of You (not to mention her amazingly titled band The Bin Chicken) to The Saboteurs sold-out show at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre on Thursday 18 April. Check out Laura’s latest record now via her Bandcamp, awarded Album of The Week on 4ZZZ (Brisbane) and 2SER (Sydney), including her rocking latest single ‘Carry You Around’. Laura’s no stranger to indie music lovers: she’s been releasing music since the early noughties, covering a range of genres from folk to throat-tearing punk, dark country, psychedelic rock and everything in between. Scared Of You is another winning effort: as 2SER says, “Strikingly unguarded, Laura plays it tough yet tender on this record, and smoothly cuts across rock, classic country, shoegaze and more.”
Johnny Hunter
SYD SHOW ONLY
The Sydney-based five-piece Johnny Hunter making waves with only a few singles so far to their name. Nick Hutt (vocals), Ben Wilson (guitar), Xander Burgess (guitar), Nick Cerone (bass) and Gerry Thompson (drums) will join the bill at Big Top Luna Park on Saturday 20 April. Check out their latest single ‘Ashamed’: 2:30 mins of “an introspective attack on the budget-grade hedonism that is known all too well amongst the punters of a dying Sydney nightlife,” say the band. Johnny Hunter mix glam-pop theatrics with a metallic, post-punk sheen and an unwavering gaze – taking the all-consuming, rock n roll charm of The New York Dolls, Siouxsie And The Banshees and Iggy Pop, and meshing them with The Church and Wire’s songwriting grace.
