The Catholics - Quick Tix

Event Date: 28/02/2014, 08:30 pm

One of Australia's most distinctive contemporary groups.
Bandleader and bassist Lloyd Swanton is well known internationally for his work with improvising legends The Necks, and has appeared on over 90 albums, many of them ARIA Award winners, including Vince Jones, Wendy Matthews and Bernie McGann.

The catholics feature some of Sydney's elite players, whose catchiness of pop music, combined with infectious world dance rhythms and indisputably authoritative jazz-ability, has created a rare thing indeed- a sound with an instant appeal, physical excitement, passion, and critical credibility - as demonstrated by their often sold-out gigs, huge fan base, several outstanding recordings and numerous Mo and ARIA Awards.

LLoyd Swanton (bass)
Sandy Evans (saxophone)
James Greening (trombone and pocket trumpet) Jonathan Pease (guitar)
Gary Daly (accordion)
Hamish Stuart (drums)
Fabian Hevia (percussion)

Brazil Meets Cuba!

Event Date: 28/02/2014, 09:00 pm

Non-Stop Carnival night of music
There is only a few ways to really describe what happens in our famous recipe "Brazil meets Cuba"

One way to describe it is "non-stop"!
As the night kicks off with an explosive set at
9pm
by DJ Dwight chocolate Escobar.
Latin Connoisseurs have witnessed and supported this renowned dj loyally
over the last 16 years, with a following of social media fans and salsa lovers alike theres no wonder why festivals like Splendour in the grass have booked Dwight to perform 5 years running.
With Dwight's set expect a repertoire specialising in high-end salsa that meets raw-samba beats somewhere in the amazon. A True depiction and study of both rhythms and cultures, not a clash but a sweaty harmony of BOOM!

10 pm
Gonzalo Porta & Sydney Salsa All Stars
(having won many Latin awards and 9 Gold Albums) explore the depths & tones of Cubas' Musical Genius, the only way it can be explored, through live stage-roaring songs.

The Basements underground locale is metamorphosed into a sun drenched Caribbean shore, complete with cigars, sand & a mean brass section... this truly is the reason we love Cuba!

11:30pm
Once you hear the dense addictive sound of heavy brazilian drums you know the producers will be none other than Rhythm Brazil
In true Rhythm Brazil style, they will Ravish the stage one gorgeous brazilian performer at a time until there will be no room for another feather. Then to your amazement more drums & amazing crowd-hyping-Brazilian instruments squeeze between the dancers to build an entity-of-awesomeness. That is undeniably the reason we love Brazil!

12:30pm
As Brazil meets Cuba, you meets them too and after you are well versed in all things samba/salsa, the party continues.... of course!

Short Sweet And Theatre

Event Date: 27/02/2014, 07:30 pm

Short+Sweet - the festival of tasty short theatre bites
The annual festival of 10-minute plays opens 8 January running through to 3 March at the King Street Theatre, Newtown. The program changes weekly and plays Wed - Sat 7.30pm plus Sun 5.15. Plus the Wildcard performances: Sat 2:30pm, Sun 1pm and Mon at 7:30pm.

Theatre festival director Pete Malicki – taking the helm of his 3rd straight fest - said Short+Sweet was the biggest of its type in the world. This year it boasts 170 short plays – chosen from more than 1200 entries from all over Australia and internationally – and showcasing the talents of 320 writers and directors and more than 450 actors.

On display is the work of both seasoned professionals and talented newcomers – often in an explosive alchemical mix. This year Sydney also welcomes companies visiting from Malaysia and India where the international arm of Short+Sweet is already well-established.

Pete enthused about the networking opportunities such a festival offers artists as well as a door way to further fame - and sometimes even fortune!

"In 2009 when presenting my first Short+Sweet play I saw an amazing monologue by a young woman wrapped in bandages while talking about having sex with super villains.

“That actress was Steph Dawson who just recently landed herself a lead role as Annie Cresta in The Hunger Games."

Other Short+Sweet alumni include Rose Byrne and Brendan Cowell.

This year, the theatre festival runs in parallel during January to a Cabaret and Dance festival, just up the road at the New Theatre.
