The Idea of North

Overview

Your experience with a capella shouldn’t be limited to Ted’s band on Scrubs – though The Blanks are pretty special in their own right. However, there’s a lot more out there in terms of contemporary a capella, including the genius that is The Idea of North. The four piece started off as a group of friends attending ANU in 1993 and have since gained international recognition, with their most recent achievement being the 2010 Aria for Best Jazz Album.

With Brisbane’s Powerhouse being dubbed as The Idea of North’s ‘second home’, it seems only natural that the Powerhouse Theatre plays the venue for the launch of The Idea of North’s latest album. Take a walk down to the river and enjoy the best thing to come out of our nation’s fine capital. If you’re going expecting Ted Buckland, you might be going for the wrong reasons, but maybe, just maybe, The Idea of North will do their own rendition of Hey Ya.
