Shakes Fear & the Skeleton Gang
Immortal vagabond Shakes Fear and atrocious accomplices the Skeleton Gang are here to terrify you with tales of their time-hopping trials and tribulations. Including songs from their debut album ‘Find Me a Grave, Man’, inspired by the likes of Tom Waits, C.W. Stoneking and Pokey La-Farge, they’re guaranteed to rattle and shake you, right down to your bones.
Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar
Join the vaudevillian varlets of Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar on an eerie expedition through strange Lovercraftian landscapes filled with dark, but jaunty songs.
Seamlessly blending elements of folk, blues, gypsy jazz, world and rock with an unusual selection of instruments including xylophone, accordion, suitcase drum, lagerphone and guitars, while weaving a gothic narrative through their songs, the maniacal musicians of Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar have created their own unique sound – Genuine Turn of the Century Lovecraftian Horror Folk!
Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar will be joined by Butoh inspired dance company, The Denizens of the Deep. Their spooky shuffling, torturous twisting and devilish dancing will fill you with delight and despair
Gabrielle Kerr
The rising Bat Prince of folk. Hailing from Kabi Kabi country, the young raconteur is an old soul watching this new world spin. Her introspective lyrics will draw you in as the songbird's melodies are crowed with hints of folk, blues, Celtic and rock. Often painting vignettes of feminine wrath or other such 'unseemly' emotions; her music is coloured by her love of mythology, poetry, and theatre. No stranger to the stage she’s performed at festivals such as the Rockhampton River Festival, Coondoo Mountain Midwinter Campout, Strawberry Sounds Festival, and Woodfordia’s Small Halls Festival. Joined by her hard hitting band, The Psychopomps, you'll be guided through tales of life, death and all that falls betwixt.
Doors open at 7pm
