Masterclass at 3:30 PM, Concert at 5:00 PM.
Splicing the intimacy of acoustic music with the exhilarating energy of a modern rock ensemble, The Inadequates are very excited to be touring their debut album “Haven’t You Heard?” across the east coast of Australia, bringing their first Ballina headline show to Resonator Music Shop on the 21st of September. This show will be packed with brand new music from the album, as well as a few reimagined covers and unrecorded originals. The band is also offering a Masterclass before the show, which will cover guitar, mandolin, and accordion, and the way these instruments interact.
If You Haven’t Heard of them before (see what we did there?): The Inadequates are a high-energy acoustic trio that is growing rapidly within the Australian folk scene. Known for their bright suits and huge sound, they have been pushing the limits of their acoustic instruments at many different festivals across the country, and now at long last, they have something to show for it.
The boys release their highly anticipated debut record Haven’t You Heard? August 28th, and are thrilled to showcase the material they have been developing for the last few years on their debut headline tour. The 12-song album features all of the hallmarks of the Inadequates’ sound: tight 3 part harmonies, highly arranged and technically demanding instrumental work, paired with wrenching songwriting and the slamming energy that has earned them comparisons to more rock bands than acoustic ones.
Alongside the music, the band has a new look: their signature bright suits have now been custom embroidered, showing that the boys have been working just as hard behind their instruments as they have been behind their Singer EM9305 Embroidery Machine. Yes the embroidery was done by them, and yes it was so much harder than it looks.
Sewing machine repair technicians get 50% off. They deserve it.
Get your tickets now - if not for the music, then do it for the embroidery.
