24.01.2022 This ticketed live streamed vault session features a recording of Tex Perkins & Matt Walker performing at Bird's Basement in Feb 2020. Get your ticket at https:...//liveatbirds.com It's understandably difficult to pull together a coherent picture of a man whose career has taken in everything from the groundbreaking experimental punktonica of Sydney mid-80s noiseniks Thug to the lilting, dark country of his recent material with the Dark Horses. From the hard edged pub rock of the Beasts Of Bourbon's, a snarling slice of filthy pub rock to the evocative soundscapes of The Cruel Sea, whose extraordinary 1991 single 'This Is Not The Way Home' placed Perkins' world-weary growl in a new musical context and heralded the emergence of an entirely original yet archetypically Australian sound. Then there's the Tex, Don & Charlie albums, which saw Tex Perkins joining forces with the legendary Don Walker, Cold Chisel's pianist and master songwriter and son of the Clarence Valley, and Charlie Owen, previously Australia's best kept musical secret. Now is Tex's exciting new (and long overdue) collaboration with Matt Walker (a great artist in his own right) for duo shows. It's a blues swamp-groove kinda thing that's a little reminiscent of some of the things in Tex's back catalogue. Many new originals inhabit the setlist, but see them now while they still have to flesh out the set with a few Cruel Sea covers! "Tex has the swagger, presence and indomitable attitude that comes from years of fronting some of Australia's most intense and spirited rock'n'roll bands. His take-no-prisoners approach to performance comes with the sensibility of an artist committed to the subtle (and often unsubtle) nuances of his craft. Throw in an astonishing voice full of power and depth, mix it with a dry and sardonic sense of humour and what emerges is the reason there is only one Tex Perkins." - Stuart Coupe.

08.01.2022 Sydney's world-roots-jazz quartet The Vampires launched their sixth album, 'Pacifica'. The album followed up on the success of their 2017 album 'The Vampires Me...et Lionel Loueke' which was nominated for an ARIA Award and shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize. Combining risk-taking improvisation, sophisticated compositions and an uncanny sense of dialogue between the sax-trumpet frontline, the band has developed a style of its own that effortlessly combines influences from all corners of the world. No matter how sophisticated or adventurous their music can be, there is always a strong, even hypnotic, groove holding it all together. The band is now dispersed around the globe, with bassist Alex Boneham living in Los Angeles (since 1994, when he was invited to study at the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz, which has allowed him to study and perform with such greats as Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter) and trumpeter Nick Garbett living in Italy, so this is a great chance to experience their performance as a quartet. This special vault session features a recording of the band performing at Bird's Basement in 2019. Get your ticket to live stream the session at https://liveatbirds.com Band members: Nick Garbett (trumpet) Jeremy Rose (saxophones and bass clarinet) Alex Boneham (bass) Alex Masso (drums, percussion)
