Inland Sea at Nanna Nights

Overview

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Wednesdays are where it's at. Wednesdays are the new Fridays, and Fridays don't exist any more. Nanna Nights are an excellent way to initiate yourself into mid-week shenanigans, even if they sound tame at first. Be aware, though, Nanna Nights are not something to be sniffed at. They aren't based on what your nanna does specifically, but more on what you can be expected to be like one day, as a product of Gen Y. Completing the impressive sequence of acts (Numbers Radio, The Jungle Giants) for 2011 are Inland Sea, the home grown 10-piece collective. This Brisbane ten-tet have a surprisingly easygoing sound for such a large arrangement of musicians, and are offering their lovely folk sound to the equally easygoing Nanna Nights.

They've enjoyed some significant airplay on Triple J as Unearthed alumni, and have noted that they are on the self-confessed 'Constant Never-ending Tour', but Inland Sea really just like any other band – they enjoy their earthworm collection and are amateur astronomers. As stipulated by their management, and edited by them, their music evokes the awe, majesty, melancholy and bittersweet joy of happy cartoon dancing whales on salvia. I love them even more now.

Sit back and share a brew or two with your nearest and dearest and do your nanna proud by chillbangin' with a shandy and some sweet tunes from the crazy Inland Sea kids at Vinyl.
