Second Bleak Squad concert added Wednesday 29th October due to popular demand! Australian art-rock royalty Mick Turner, Mick Harvey, Adalita and Marty Brown unite as Bleak Squad for their brooding noir-rock debut.
Bleak Squad is a new Melbourne four-piece comprised of true Australian art-rock royalty. Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), the unlikely quartet unite for the first time on Bleak Squad's brooding, noir-rock debut LP, Strange Love.
Born from spur-of-the-moment jam sessions, Strange Love sees all four members juggle multiple instruments, songwriting, their own idiosyncrasies, and lead vocal duties between Adalita and Harvey. The result is a confident nine-song set of love, loss and lonesomeness, set to fizzing guitars, slippery basslines, and the signature illogical squawk of Turner's guitar. With Strange Love, Bleak Squad announce the boldest of entries into the Australian music landscape.
