Close Encounter With The Alpha Experiment

Event Date: 06/09/2013, 06:30 pm

Hot New Sydney Band at Sydney Fringe Festival 2013
Fringe Dwellers are to witness the birth of a new kind of Rock music. The band combines virtuosic modern rock, earth-shaking hip-hop grooves and Jazz overtones. As well as publicising the release of the debut album ‘Close Encounter’, the Alpha Experiment will be recording both nights for their next album - a combination of studio sound and the power of improvisation that only a top live performance can bring.


The Alpha Experiment will be playing only two nights on the 6th and 7th of September.


Come taste what’s really brewing underground. Don’t miss it, it’s explicit!

Rachel Collis And Band

Event Date: 06/09/2013, 08:00 pm

Rachel Collis and Band
With ‘the sort of voice that would stop a show’ (Heckler), singer/songwriter Rachel Collis takes to the stage to perform a quirky, provocative, unpredictable, and yet bloody catchy collection of her best original tunes.


Now attacking the piano like a savage, now pleading by it, now subverting it cheekily, Rachel delivers an unforgettable concert with virtuosic support from Michael Galeazzi (bass) and Michael Quigley (drums).


A ‘consummate entertainer’ said Megaphone Oz, ‘sheer genius’, said Australian Stage, declaring the ‘prodigy’ of her songwriting.



Expect original radio songs you’ll be humming for days.



And expect more: instruments exploited in ways the physicists said were impossible, and genre-mashers of Greek myth and rewritten Shakespeare. Rachel’s songs take simple propositions into dangerous territory. She tames the exotic, and in the next breath turns the familiar upside down. Her songs creep up and say ‘boo!’



Delightfully, it’s infused with humour.



For style, think Tim Minchin, Regina Spektor, or Ben Folds. And none of the above.



As Australian Stage writes: she’s “as animated as The Bugs Bunny Show and just as funny. Yet, when she turns her hand to a sensitive, searching ballad, she thrusts a knife in your chest that pierces your heart. Not only does she possess a linguistic gift, but a profound talent for storytelling, structure (melody, harmony, rhythm) and orchestration. She's a one-off; an original.”



So, book your tickets and see what all the fuss is about!

Stomp

Event Date: 10/09/2013, 08:00 pm

THE INTERNATIONAL SENSATION
Following their acclaimed performance at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, STOMP returns to Australia from 13 August, with new routines, new choreography and new music.



Wordless, witty and fun, STOMP has become a global phenomenon over the last 22 years. Its universal language of rhythm, theatre, comedy and dance has resonated with audiences throughout the world, setting feet stamping, fingers drumming and adrenalin rushing for over 15 million people in 50 countries across 5 continents. STOMP is currently playing in the UK, US, throughout Europe and South America.



Eight performers use everything from supermarket trolleys to Zippo lighters, plastic bags to bin lids, and even the kitchen sink to hammer out an explosively feel-good rhythm.



STOMP is a show that continues to evolve – new music and choreography now join a fresh array of ordinarily mundane objects, onto which the cast work their musical magic. Two new routines that have been introduced in 2013 include “Trolleys” and “Frogs”. Trolleys taps into the everyday experience of negotiating a busy shopping aisle with a fully laden supermarket trolley, with the piece transforming into STOMP’s first ever fully fledged drum corps march. Certainly an eye-catching spectacle. Frogs explores the bizarre sonic possibilities of a variety of plumbing fixtures. It has to be heard to be believed!

Rodney Marks

Event Date: 01/09/2013, 04:00 pm

This comic monologue is a solo show for one person
This comic monologue is a solo show for one person, alone, on his lonesome and by himself.



Self-reflexive humour, self-referential parody and self-deprecating satire are under-employed and so is Rodney, hence this season.



The piece has a compulsory first act of about 60 minutes, followed by either interval or an after-party, depending on whether you return for the second, optional 35-minute Q&A.



Farewell Tour of Sydney’s Longest Serving Public Servant is, as you might imagine, a clarification, elucidation, explanation and illumination of waffle, piffle, double-talk and bureaucratic nonsense.



Rodney performs mostly at business events for the corporate, government and non-profit sectors, so this is a rare opportunity to see him expose himself in public.



He is a perpetrator of Hoaxes and Jokeses.



This show is written by Benjamin Marks www.comedywriter.com.au and half-remembered by the performer.
