After a long battle with ennui, HOTEL finally release their much anticipated full length album 'SHAKE!!!' . Featuring virgin, never played live nor released material, and recorded in a few different places over a few different years, we launch this, the fruit of our labours, on April 10 at The Vanguard.Helping us on the night will be these Special Guests (in honestly no particular order) -
Laura Altman - Laura Altman is based in Sydney on Gadigal and Wangal Country. She has woven her way through improvised, exploratory and folk music scenes with intuitive clarinet playing, free improvisation and composition. Laura is a long-standing member of a wide range of ensembles, including the improvising collective Splinter Orchestra and the internationally acclaimed trio Great Waitress with Monica Brooks and Magda Mayas. In recent years she has developed a solo improvisation practice shaped by a deep curiosity for resonance and feedback. Her first solo release, Holy Trinity on Relative Pitch Records (2025), is described “like a warm blanket that continually covers the cracks and wraps itself around us,” Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis. Across the album Laura crafts pieces that are delicate and textural yet bold and expressive, reflecting both the unique acoustics of the space and her subtle, inquisitive approach to sound — blurring the line between instrument, environment and intervention, and offering a contemplative, tactile listening experience.
