Johnston St Jazz finale : The Catholics
About
This is it friends. Our last ever concert. We'll appear somewhere, sometime, next year, but the building is going to locked on December the 31st. Come down and hang around for a final celebration.We are very excited to be hosting The legendary Catholics for the first time ever. Led for 35 years by bass player Lloyd Swanton (The Necks), they've recorded nine albums with three ARIA nominations and a Mo award. I was looking for a quote that represents how profoundly musical and yet bouncingly accessible they are, and it turns out that's all the quotes.
“The richness, diversity and accessibility of The catholics suffuses every track. It Is their virtuosity, imagination and the inventiveness of Lloyd Swanton’s writing which makes this music so successful … no written description can do justice to this music. If you’ve heard the whisper, which is now becoming a roar, that the new Australian jazz Is great fun, then search out a copy of this superb album”
