Mike Rudd & Tim Gaze (George Lane Matinee Sessions)
Folks! A double bill for the ages! An incredible show awaits as Mike Rudd arrives in town to play a select number of intimate gigs in Melbourne. Joining Mike is very special guest and long-time associate Tim Gaze.
Mike Rudd, best known for his work with Spectrum and that undeniably classic Australian #1 song I'll Be Gone which became one of the most enduring songs of that era and still heard on the radio today.
He has gone on to front metamorphosis of Spectrum in Indelible Murtceps and also Ariel where they found chart and commercial success again with ‘Jamaican Farewell’.
These days, Mike sees playing 'solo' with George Butrumlis as an opportunity to tackle songs that, for one reason or another, don't get played in the group setting. Outrageous songs like ‘Excuse Me Just One Moment’ from Murtceps' Warts Up your Nose album and Confessions of a Psychopathic Cowpoke, from Ariel's ‘A Strange Fantastic Dream ’ album, which of course was famously banned from airplay on the album's release.
Opening the evening will be the one and only Tim Gaze who has trailblazed a lifetime of music including time with Tamam Shud during and post seminal Morning of the Earth surf film era & breakaway band, Kahvas Jute. Tim will take us on a trip re-visiting moments of his journey where he has regularly been referred to as one of Australia’s finest and inspiring guitarists.
These shows are not to be missed.
