Lambchop
Alt-country stalwarts Lambchop hail from the sort of place where you might be serenaded by a lonesome trucker, and now they're coming to Sydney.
Overview
The American South is an enthralling place. It's where cotton grows high, gentlemen drink whiskey, women wear crisp white gingham dresses and you're as likely to come across a gun-toting lunatic as to be serenaded by a lonesome trucker of a night time. And it's from a place like this that Lambchop hails.
A loose collective centred around the vocalist and and creative centre-point, Kurt Wagner - the kind of man who wears a trucker cap in an entirely non-ironic way - Lambchop have been creating music for well over twenty years. While they started off being associated with the alt-country scene, Lambchop's range is wide and just as easily covers genres as diverse as soul, post-rock, jazz and the odd cocktail-bar croon. With lyrics both ambiguous and haunting, the band has developed a cult following over the years, making them a highly welcome addition to this year's Sydney Festival line-up. And not only is Wagner appearing on-stage with Lambchop, but he will also be performing a solo show as well as part of the old-school country duo, Kort, alongside Cortney Tidwell
Lambchop's performance at City Recital Hall will be a collection of songs collected from the deep vault of their back-catalogue as well as new material from their up-coming album, Mr M.
