BRUNSWICK ARTISTS' BAR // FREE ENTRY // SHOW 4.30PM

Combining rough-edged rock and soulful blues with walloping Americana folk roots , Nick Carver and his band The Mean St Butchers have unleashed the beast with their eagerly anticipated sophomore album ‘ANIMALS’ - out now. 

For this special solo gig, Nick will strip back his band’s new album, with a healthy selection of his other songs,  worked  gently with a square neck dobro, and his haunting vocals. Nick will be joined by old friend and Manny Fox bandmates Tristan Kelly and Eva Popov. Manny Fox have built a solid reputation around Melbourne dance floors and festivals over the last 15 years. While the band has been dormant for the last couple of years, this stripped back set will usher in the return of the Fox!

 What people are saying about Nick Carver & the Mean St Butchers new album ANIMALS:

"It has a gorgeous dirty country blues feel to it, with big earthy guitars and rough-edged vocals. It’s foot-stomping, it’s a riot, yet comforting and personal." (AU Review)

 "The Way That You Walk is a smooth and moody piece that is rolling with bright keys, rolling brushed drums and Nick Carvers swoony vocal delivery." (AAA Backstage)

 "Searing soulful sludgy blues! That slide is getting a thrashing and sounds amazing. Love the brooding swamp this one's rising up from. Unbeatable stompable rhythm." [About 'Two Legged Dog'] (Steph Hughes, Triple J)

 "I'm glad I'm wearing boots while listening because I felt the intense need to stomp."
