# Event Details - **Event Name**: MATT MALONE & THE HOLY SPIRITS + MICHAEL PLATER (MELB) - LIVE AT BUTCHERS BREW BAR!! - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am – Fri, 20 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm - **Event Description**: MATT MALONE & THE HOLY SPIRITS + MICHAEL PLATER (MELB) - DOUBLE BILL ?????? MATT MALONE is an iconoclastic singer-songwriter hailing from the goldfields region of Victoria. Matt’s bold baritone/ tenebrous imagery have often been compared to Michael Gira, Nick Cave, David Eugene Edwards, Mark Lanegan & Johnny Cash. He has cultivated a cult audience with his intense live performances having shared the stage with the likes of Kim Salmon (Beasts Of Bourbon) + Hugo Race (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) on many prestigious stages across Australia & overseas. 2023 saw Malone release his critically acclaimed 'For The Term Of My Natural Life' (VRS Records, CD / Vinyl), solidifying his status as one of the consummate singer-songwriters of the Australian underground. He followed it up with a small collection of electrified covers called 'Made In The Image, Vol.1', featuring a reinterpretation of the classic ‘I’m Bad Like Jesse James’ which was subsequently shared & endorsed by the John Lee Hooker estate. Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits have completed recording with Loki Lockwood (Spooky Records, The Drones, Spencer P. Jones) and released 'Wolfman on Halloween' 25.PRESS: ⭐️ MATT MALONE (Vocals / Acoustic Guitar ) ⭐️ NICK POTTS (Blues Harmonica) PLUS ⭐️ MICHAEL PLATER (Vocals/ 12 String Acoustic Guitar/ Drone Box) in support ★★★★ Sydney Morning Herald ★★★★ Backseat Mafia “What a powerful rendition of the John Lee Hooker classic I’m Bad Like Jesse James from bluesman & twang artisan - Matt Malone… I like that!” Tower Of Song, Double J "Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits channel the darkness, the shadows... you'll recognize some Bad Seeds vibes in here & I'm all for it." Henry Wagons, Double J "Malone mines life's dark shadows in a similar way to Nick Cave or foreign antecedents like Merle Haggard and Bob Dylan. It's an album of singular vision, unrelenting in its intensity..." Rhythms Magazine "Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits sound like a Ennio Morricone score for a Cormac McCarthy movie.” Americana UK "Whatever juju, alchemy or disturbed darkness that made Jim Morrison put on a pair of leather trousers & shock the world out of its apathy… Matt has got it!" Kim Salmon (The Scientists, Beasts Of Bourbon, The Surrealists) “Matt Malone & The Holy Spirits are stripped & bare in the outlaw country tradition, but with the menace & slow stabbing guitar of Rowland S. Howard." Rolling Stone "Matt Malone resonates with echoes of Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen & the greats... his latest single embodies his unique style & lyrical genius." Anthony De Filipis "Matt Malone deals in dark, heavy & sombre music... his voice a gothic, stentorian & preacher-like baritone. There are obvious touchstones like Nick Cave, Jeffrey Lee Pierce & Johnny Cash who he absorbs into his death blues soundtrack of rattling strings, ghostly sounds & strummed wasteland ballads." The Music "Matt Malone is a wayfaring stranger whose roots strongly echo the sweeping vengeful deliverance of Michael Gira & Swans, Malone seems more like a dark preacher-man trailed by a cloud of haunted dust in which one might also sense the spirits of Jim Morrison & Hank Williams.” Noir Lounge ?
