Overview
"I lived in the country where the dead wood aches / In a house made of stone and a thousand mistakes / Where the glory of morning got crushed by the burden of day."
I know I wasn't the only alternative teenager with these lyrics plastered on my bedroom wall. There's something gut-wrenching about the world Gareth Liddiard creates in his songs, and from his time as frontman of The Drones to his exceptional solo work, this great Australian storyteller has amassed a serious following.
Though his last tour was with The Drones' 2013 release of I See Seaweed, this month brings with it a surprising solo residency at The Workers Club. Recalling his 2010 LP, Strange Tourist, Liddiard will be treating audiences to some much-needed one-on-one time with the guy behind 'Shark Fin Blues', 'Jezebel', and 'Blondin Makes an Omelette'.
With a limited venue capacity of 200, these shows are for die-hard fans only. Though Liddiard's booked in for every Sunday in May (including a bonus show on June 1), every date has completely sold out. Beg, borrow, and stalk Gumtree for ticket sales — this isn't a show you can afford to miss.
