Mamma Chen's | Footscray, VI
What is the deal, what’s going on, whaaat’s happening? This edition of ‘Thurslay’ at Mamma Chen’s features electronic music with songs, poetry, video, some costume changes, a freaky puppet-thing perhaps. It’s high-tech meets… mid-tech. Odd? Oh fuck yeah, and fun! Can you dance? Well we don’t know, can you? Dancing is definitely encouraged. Steve will dance a bit for sure.
What it is really is a blending of all the stuff George and Smarty do, with a few things that they aren’t sure if they can do yet, but dammit they’re gonna try. It’s two sets, no open mic. Hang around afterwards and have a drink with us.
Thursday 3rd October @mammachens, doors open 7pm. Tix $12 on door, $10 presale.
George O’Hara (aka Fluxofhumor) is a Footscray based musician and poet who lives in a techno lair of screens and machines that flash and bleep at his infernal will. George is one half of The Temporary Adults and one third of Temporary Adults, whilst also planning for a variety of apocalypses that he will explain if you ask. He cooks too; bakes, even!
Steve Smart is aiming for a multi-disciplinary art practice, blending poetry and song performance with video, visual art, electronic music and soundscape, eccentric fashion/costume choices, and some odd little sculptures. Mostly he’s known best for the poetry side of that equation, but creativity as a whole is really the reason he gets out of bed. In 2023 he released the album ‘Not even a cup of tea - or Smarty sings weird songs’ which is available on his Bandcamp page. His main project for 2024 has been ‘Theatre of Unapologetic Sparkles’ which he wrote and performed with Es Foong and George O’Hara as part of La Mama Explorations 2024.” Please head to Mamma Chens website:
