Surprise Melbourne club show for London’s bar italia (Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton) playing a RISING side show on their debut Australian tour.
From their beginnings on Dean Blunt’s World Music label to signing with Matador Records, bar italia have become a beacon of cathartic post-punk insouciance, broken-mirror storytelling & deadpan boy/ boy/girl vocals.
bar italia’s economical yet evocative song craft takes raucous & mystic turns; songs like ‘my little tony‘, with its in-the-red riff and excitable hooks, the cathartic four-on-the-floor of ‘world’s greatest emoter’ and the festival tent psychedelia of ‘Hi-fiver’ need little in the way of exposition – these are exhilarating rock songs, if wayward and strange.
“The best new band in London... jagged art rock, grey-scale dream-pop and ghostly vocals conjuring a sad and alluring world that feels just out of reach” - THE FACE
Support: Acopia
