Join us for an intimate night of outsider sounds at Wildflower Picture House in North Fitzroy (fka Longplay).

Bush Fashion is an improvisational duo made up of Dave Brown (Pateras/Baxter/Brown, Candlesnuffer, Bucketrider, Brown.Buck.Mayas) & Mat Watson (Borerdoms Boadrum, ULMD, Heavy Spectra, Taipan Tiger Girls). The seed of Bush Fashion grew from their infrequent collaboration over the past decade in Melbourne’s experimental music scene. Bush Fashion explores non-conformist, collaborative musical language utilising a treated hollow body guitar and matrix programmable portable modular system. Their performances are a wash of nuanced alien language, call and response, and entangled human energy, revealing new realities to the listener.

Light Burst is the new duo of multi-instrumentalists and composers Biddy Connor and Lizzy Welsh. Based between Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung country in Naarm (Melbourne) and Djaara country in Central Victoria, Light Burst grew out of the murky depths of pandemic lock downs. Combining electronics with rarely-heard acoustic instruments from different eras, Light Burst weaves a unique and exciting timbral cambric.
Biddy and Lizzy have over ten years of collaboration history, playing with The Letter String Quartet, John Cale, Gang of Youths, Mick Harvey, Spritualized and others.
