Roadrunner Tours is excited to present The Space Lady, live in Australia this January 2025!
Described as the "interstellar matriarch of outsider music” (Bandcamp), The Space Lady is beaming down on Australian soil to perform her ethereal, Casio-driven pop songs across a series of intimate concerts.
The Space Lady’s story began on the bustling streets of late-70s Boston, where her performances—featuring an accordion and iconic winged helmet—captivated audiences with her otherworldly interpretations of contemporary hits. Following the theft and destruction of her accordion, The Space Lady acquired a Casio keyboard equipped with a phase shifter, drum machine, and headset mic—an event that drastically changed her sound and led to the pioneering of the cosmic, synth-driven style that has inspired and mesmerised generations of listeners and underground artists ever since.
Setting the Casio aside in 2000 for retirement, The Space Lady experienced a renaissance in the early 2010s, following inclusions on compilations by John Maus, Erol Alkan, and Irwin Chusid's Songs In The Key of Z, as well as features in NME's 101 Albums To Hear Before You Die and The Guardian's The 101 Strangest Records on Spotify.
Her legend continues to burn brightly, with recent performances at Mosswood Meltdown in California (where she was given a glowing introduction by John Waters), as well as performances at Desert Daze (US), Valkhof Festival (Netherlands) and Pohoda Festival (Slovakia), sharing stages with the likes of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, B-52's, Perfume Genius and so forth.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see a seminal, musical maverick live in concert. Get your tickets now!
