Overview

Upstairs at the Beresford is opening up its doors and letting the creatives loose on May 1 for liveMUSIC vs liveART. The night is all about interplay — local bands will take to the stage as artists of the visual persuasion let the music inspire them and go to town on a blank canvas for our viewing pleasure. The artworks will then be auctioned off for charity.

The Merivale family has brought together a stellar lineup of local music talent, including the new worst-band-in-Sydney, Teenage Hand Models, and She Rex. On the paint and pencils side of things, Jodee Knowles' piece is sure to pull a few bidders with her moody illustrations that would have rendered the young Tim Burton her infatuated slave in decades past. Other artists practising their under-pressure game faces for the night are Brett Chan, Nico, Fesselet, Daimon Downey, Bafcat, Love Arial and Terho, while Quantum Force, Leper & Crooks and Firesaint round out the band lineup.

The night is 100 percent all proceeds to charity and is going for a decided environmental tone, with both chosen funds working for wildlife protection (WWF and Wildlife Warriors).
