Perhaps better known as the founding member and producer of Noiseworks, Electric Hippies, and the frontman of 1980s new-wavers Mi-Sex, don’t miss the chance to witness Balbi’s eclectic sensibility live, featuring an intimate set of songs ‘n’ stories from his catalogue of hits ‘n’ memories. Beautiful but distorted, daunting but heavenly, Balbi bends every genre with this new body of work and show.
BALBI BESPEAKS BOWIE ‘N’ LENNON, EXPLORING THE ROTTEN GROOVE OF RADIOHEAD.
The music of the composer, producer, and founding member of Noiseworks and Electric Hippies – Steve Balbi – mines a kaleidoscope of life at the margins. Coalescing melody, sophistication, and soul, Balbi bespeaks Bowie and Lennon, exploring the diversity, refinement, and dirty rotten groove of Radiohead.
Balbi’s studio credits include Andrew Farris (INXS), Christine Anu, Glenn Shorrock, and Jenny Morris, among many others, he created vocal arrangements and played acoustic guitar on David Bowie’s Hours, with producer Marius de Vries (Madonna, Björk, et al.), and for the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge. Renowned for his captivating live performances, Balbi returns to The Brass Monkey to commemorate the release of his new single ‘No Place We Can Go’ ft. Ash Grunwald and Miranda Carey.
Currently on tour with Noiseworks, Balbi has a new solo record – Breakdown – out now.
“This is the sound of Steve’s heart… right here! It is an invitation to connect with him and everything around him that he considers important. I find his lyrics deliberate, pointed, and powerful, never saying something he doesn’t believe in. I love it! And I love that it isn’t at all what I expected. I expected heavy rock or something… I don’t even know what! I’m completely ecstatic to have been so wrong.” – Kate Ceberano
