Overview

Award-hoarding Cairns rock quartet The Medics will headline a special one-off gig this Saturday night to celebrate the musical chops of contemporary Aboriginal artists.

'Redfern Station' will take place in the ambitious multi-arts beast that is Carriageworks, bringing three of Australia's most talented acts to a thriving suburb that has long been an urban meeting place for Aboriginal Australians from all over the country. For Triple J Unearthed winners The Medics it will be their first Sydney performance since the release of their debut album Foundations, which landed their photogenic faces a major feature in Rolling Stone as well as a hugely successful tour that wound up at a wee shindig known as Splendour in the Grass.

On Saturday they'll be accompanied by Microwave Jenny before the pop/folk/love duo heads off to Woodford and Peats Ridge. Emerging singer songwriter Jess Beck will round out the triple-threat gig with an energetic blend of sultry jazz and no-frills roots, then you will go home and think about how Redfern is exponentially cooler than all other suburbs.
