The Laugh Stand With Jackie Loeb

Event Date: 21/08/2014, 08:00 pm

A rocking night of laughs: Musical comedy stars Jackie Loeb & Dave Eastgate
This month at FBi Social, we’re going all rock n’ roll, with two of the country’s finest multi-talented musical comedians - the wonderfully glam Jackie Loeb and rock God Dave Eastgate!

Your Headliner, Jackie Loeb, is a jack of all trades - comedian, musician, corporate Emcee, voice-over artist, actor, writer and TV star. Over the years, you would have seen Jackie all over your TV, as regular cast member of Australian comedy classic ‘Full Frontal’ and in appearances on ‘Good News Week’, ‘Spicks and Specks’, ‘The Footy Show’, ’20 to 1’, ‘Stand Up Australia’, ‘The Today Show’ and ‘Last Comic Standing’, just to name a handful. The Sydney Morning Herald declared Jackie as “One of the top five comics” and Drum Media said: “Loeb revealed the strange richness of the human experience. Oh, and made us laugh the whole way through.”

Your Emcee is the insanely energetic and hilarious, Dave Eastgate. Dave also has “many strings to his guitar”, including; comedian, musician, Emcee, actor, and the hardest working TV warm up guy in town. Dave also spends a fair share of his time in front of the camera with credits on a range of hit TV shows, including ‘The Moodys’, ‘Wednesday Night Fever’, ‘An Elegant Gentleman’s Guide To Knife-Fighting’ and ‘Thursday Night Live’. He even has his own band, ‘Boner Contention’, rocking venues and TV shows all over the country. Metro UK says Dave “…unleashes musical thunder with a laughter-packed set of songs…” and Academy Award winning comedy legend Robin Williams proclaims; “F**king beautiful, man!”

Jackie and Dave will be joined by the brightest rising stars: Cameron James, Suren Jayemanne, Andrew Wolfe, Alexei Tollopolous, Delores Lorette and Emma Zammit!

AUTO OBSESSION

Event Date: 17/08/2014, 10:00 am

Treasures from the Museum’s car collection out from the vaults
Note: This double-pass can be used at any day of the exhibition.

The Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences will for the first time showcase its extraordinary car collection in a new display at the Powerhouse Museum.

AUTO OBSESSION is part of a new Re-Collection project to ensure greater public access to the Museum’s rich collection.

Featuring over 25 restored and original historic cars, AUTO OBSESSION comprises a curious, eclectic and fascinating collection from luxury tourers and family sedans to racing and sports cars.
Also on display will be the Museum’s extensive collection of Matchbox cars, arguably the largest such collection in Australia. It has been claimed that in the halcyon days of Matchbox in the 1960s, Australians
purchased more of the little die-cast toy cars per capita than any other country.

“Auto Obsession highlights our love affair and lifelong obsession with cars. It is fitting that a car show is the first in our new Re-Collection series where we will bring the Museum’s extraordinary collection out of the vaults and on public display,” said Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences Director, Rose Hiscock.

Many of the cars in AUTO OBSESSION are time capsules of automotive history, having had little work done on them other than to preserve them in carefully monitored storage conditions. They can be compared to the much sort-after "barn find" cars in the current collector market.

Danny G Felix Proyecto 5

Event Date: 16/08/2014, 08:30 pm

Don't miss this six piece Latin Jazz outfit!
Sydney-based pianist and producer Danny G Felix returns with his new six piece Latin jazz outfit to the Foundry following their debut in May.

With Proyecto 5, Danny brings to Australian audiences the classic live Nu-yorican Latin-jazz sound—musically complex but with raw energy and great for dancing. Inspiration for the band came from Danny’s visits to Colombia, USA and Cuba, including playing in New York with greats such as Jimmy Bosch, Ray de la Paz and Pete Nater.

Danny had already attracted attention on the world salsa scene based on tracks from his Danny G Felix Project album (Elegwa 2011). This group will be performing several brand new compositions by Danny as well as some classic New York Salsa and Latin jazz repertoire by the likes of Eddie Palmieri and Joe Cuba.

Piano - Danny G Felix
Vocals, Trombone - Victor Hugo
Trumpet - Ken Allars
Congas - Giorgio Rojas
Bass - Salvatore Santoro
Timbales - Steven Manovski

Rick, Tim, Alex from Dig (Directions In Groove) with guest vocalists and DJ. Old and new favourites!

Funky dance grooves are back in town as original DIG members, Tim Rollinson, Rick Robertson and Alex Hewetson combine with a great rhythm section and some stunning guest vocalists each week to relive those halycon days of the 80s and 90s when jazz, soul, funk and dub all got together on the dancefloor.

Top choirs will compete for big prizes in this entertaining event

To qualify for this event, choirs must place first or second in the Open, Youth or Primaryl/Infants School final of The Sydney Eisteddfod John Lamble Foundation Australasian Choral Championships that take place June.

The choirs that progress into the Australian Choral Grand Prix will feature choristers of all age groups. The singing will undoubtedly be superb and the program will include a guest appearance by a star performer from the Sydney Eisteddfod alumni.

Event Date: 13/08/2014, 08:30 pm

Experience this outstanding Jazz guitarist and composer
Recognized as one of the leading individual voices in the new generation of the Jazz guitarists today, Mike Moreno has toured extensively and recorded his original music, described as being "as disciplined as poetry", to high critical acclaim.

As Nate Chinen describes in his “The Gig” Column in JazzTimes Magazine, “There are many other guitarists out there pushing towards a modern ideal, but none with the precise coordinates that Mike Moreno has charted."

Outside of his own band, Moreno has been called to play for some of the most iconic names in jazz and beyond today, such as The Joshua Redman Elastic Band, Nicholas Payton Quartet, Meshell N’Degeocello, Lizz Wright, Jason Moran, Q-Tip, Terence Blanchard, Robert Glasper, Gretchen Parlato, Aaron Parks, Jon Cowherd, Claudia Acuna, Greg Osby, Wynton Marsalis & JALC, Jeff “Tain” Watts and many others.
