Quiet Noise IV

Saturday 28 February, 3pm.
House Show
15 Neil Street, West Footscray
THIS Ensemble
The Paul Kidney Experience

The Quiet Noise house/backyard show tradition of unamplified experimental music and jumbo veg biriyanis enters its fourth year with an unprecedented battle of two of Melbourne’s most out-there large form improvising groups.

The Paul Kidney Experience is a raging psychedelic beast who routinely destroy eardrums and blow minds with their high volume jams, but on this occasion they have accepted the Quiet Noise challenge to perform sans-speakers, unplugged for the first time. But do not expect introspective acoustic guitars played seated on bar stools…The PKE on this occasion will feature Don Rogers, Matt Gleeson, Lloyd Honeybrook, Ben Butcher, Nell Day, Peter James, Rodney J Cooper, Dave ‘The Hitter’ Bullock, and Paul Kidney.

THIS Ensemble is a constantly-shifting improvising organism manifested by Ren Walters. The line-up is never the same, and has incorporated dancers, actors, visual artist, puppets as well as some of Melbourne’s most adventurous musicians, often performing over long periods of time.

Free entry/free music (you may want to kick in a few dollars for a share in a jumbo veg biriyani afterwards).

Upcoming performances: Feb, March, April and May 2015
