A double bill from these wildly inventive Melbourne bands. A heady fusion of junkyard blues, groove-drenched ballads, electro-acoustic experiments and sailor songs!LILY & KING
Dixieland punk, sailor songs, weird carnie show tunes and the odd bit of curious pop - their music is joyful, beautiful and a bit dirty and wicked too. Their act is a lilting, luring, sensual haze of smoky opiate vocals that transport the captivated audience to a redly lit burlesque bar from the 1940s, where the smoke curled thickly in the air and people only ever drank whiskey. With trombone, sweet and sassy vocals, toy piano, guitar, half a drum kit and an abundance of foot stomping, their melodies are infused with wild exuberance and joie de vivre - a Lily and King gig is a truly wild and joyful experience.

SALLY FORD AND THE IDIOMATICS
The Idiomatics create a vibrant, groove-drenched sound that fuses Sally Ford’s story-led songwriting with contemporary sound design from Patrick Cronin and Michael Havir. An expansive palette of keyboards, samples and electronica is enhanced by vocals, trombone, sax and flute to create a richly imagined electro-acoustic sonic experience.
