Kirin J Callinan
Prepare for '80s cricketer hairdos and a unique genre of musical chaos.
Overview
Deep-voiced Sydneysider Kirin J Callinan preludes a massive Europe tour with a few stops on local turf, i.e. a national tour. As part of his trip around the country, he and his '80s cricketer hairdo will be rocking the Melbourne Festival.
Callinan kicked of his music career as guitarist for Mercy Arms, before going solo with his own unique genre of chaos. His live shows have become infamous, with constant streams of stories from his gigs appearing online. In the words of Clash's Joe Zadah, "these unhinged and confessional sermons are made of savage riffs, self-deprecation and loop pedals."
Between his hectic string of live gigs, he's made time to release his album Embracism (out now on XL/Terrible Records), perfect a flamboyant fashionably/unfashionable style and team up with Mark Ronson and Tame Impala as they covered 'I Sat by the Ocean' for Like a Version.
Now, Callinan heads down south to share his talents. His Sunday night show will be supported by Molly Lewis, 2015's female world champion musical whistler.
