Hot Potato Band’s larger-than-life brass collective is a breath of fresh air, setting a new bar for energetic and interactive live performances.
Finding home in Sydney, Australia, their positive coastal energy pushes euphoric boundaries in their bold quest to reignite acoustic instrumentation. HPB is un-bound by genres, stages and audiences. They are re-inventive of the traditional street brass band as a modern day dance machine and visual spectacle for all demographics with a strong sense of pride for their fun-loving, organic, and quirky musical nature.
Please note, the seats will be out of the flat section of the stalls (downstairs) to make room for dancing.
The Beths are elated to announce the upcoming release of new album, Expert In A Dying Field. The band’s third LP houses 12 jewels of tight, guitar-heavy songs that worm their way into your head, an incandescent collision of power-pop and skuzz.
Ahead of the album’s September 16 release, The Beths share their new single ‘Silence Is Golden’. Filled with Elizabeth Stokes’ signature cut-to-the-bone lyrics alongside playfully chaotic, hook-filled melodies, ‘Silence Is Golden’ appropriately foreshadows an album that stands to solidify The Beths’ reputation as masters of their craft.
Dress Circle upstairs is allocated seating. Downstairs is General Admission and some seats are out to make space for dancing.
