  Thursday 15 March 2012 9.30pm Booking No. 4 $24/$19 Phoenix Public House Doors Open: 9.00pm TINPAN ORANGE Six-foot front woman Emily Lubitz twirls her flaming red hair out across a complex and original musical creation, in which virtuoso instrumental performances and pulsating rhythms merge to form a wholly unique sound. Imagine Edith Piaf in the body of Mrs Jessica Rabbit, wandering through a landscape of suburban fairy tales and electric static clouds. Guitarist Jesse Lubitz thumps up dust from the floor of the stage, the drums rumble, the organ whirrs, and up over the top of everything floats the prodigal Alex Burkoy's achingly sad violin. Since their early days as Australian folk darlings, brother-and-sister duo Tinpan Orange have evolved into a dizzyingly original musical force. Still evident is the lush song craft and lyrical depth for which they are renowned, but the landscape in which the songs are set has shifted. > Find out more: Facebook | MySpace THE STILLSONS Whilst they draw deep from the country roots well, The Stillsons encompass a full range of musical styles and colors. Their critically acclaimed debut album 'Circus' (2009) is now followed by 'Earnest', their sophomore LP, and will be released in September 2011 through the FUSE Group. At the core of the band are singer-songwriters Justin Bernasconi (guitar) and Cat Canteri (drums) who met in late 2006 through a love of country guitar picking and harmony singing. Ben Franz (The Waifs) joined the band in January 2010, adding his deft touch on pedal steel guitar. Edmondo Ammendola joins them on bass. Over the past year The Stillsons have extensively toured Australia, released the film clip 'Charity and Ghosts' (which addresses the Forgotten Generation) and the single 'Nobody Knows You Tonight'. Their songs have received airplay on the ABC, BBC, CMCTV, Triple J and community radio. > Find out more: MySpace | Website Check out one of our other concerts:
