IMMY OWUSU 'HOLE IN MY NAME' SINGLE LAUNCH
About
Immy Owusu & The Afrodelik Choir, Ready New Gang, Standing Circle, Dave In The Run, Sensible J (DJ)
Immy Owusu launches his new fuzzed out Afro-Psychedelic Gospel single 'Hole In My
Name' in a 360° show at Brunswick with back-to-back sets from some of the
city's most unique diasporic music with Sensible J spinning vinyl between
sets.
Immy Owusu's music is culture, life and worlds. It's surf rock meets
Zamrock. Blues meets Highlife. Rhythm unearthed at the crossroads. It runs
deep. His grandfather is Koo Nimo, a legend of Ghanaian Highlife and Palm
Wine. His Dad, Kojo, master Ashanti percussionist. Through them he has
found his own unique vibration. A little bit of fuzz, a little bit of wah.
Afrodelik. From debut LO-LIFE!, featuring members of Surprise Chef, Karate
Boogaloo and The Senegambian Jazz Band, to his Sensible J collab Spiritual
War, Immy keeps taking new sonic turns. His forthcoming album is his finest
yet, and he'll be bringing it to life with a stunning expanded band & BVs.
Ready New Gang is Gamelan-fusion that only Naarm could create. Adding
western beats and grooves to repertoire from Bali's famous Wayang
shadow-puppet theatre, RNG blends a range of modern styles with tradition,
creating music that traverses multiple sound worlds. RNG aims to reach an
Australian audience more familiar with pop, rock, and jazz by adding
basslines from Scott Owen (Living End) and Drumkit grooves by Dave Williams
(Augie March) which transform the traditional 5-tone bronze quartet into an
entirely unique entity.
Standing Circle is a Melbourne-based ensemble led by Lorenzo Larry
Crestani (Black Jesus Experience).
Planting the seeds for constant change the Circle will take the audience on
a journey through time via Larry's custom-built kraartar, Hue Blanes'
keyboard, Richard Rose's bass and Sam Young's drums. Ever driven across the
Nullarbor? You get the idea.
Dave in the Run is the musical project of Indian/Australian artist Dennis
Jeyachandran — a singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer blending
hip-hop, soul, rock, jazz and Indian cinematic and soul music. Fusing live
instrumentation with electronic, vintage and cinematic textures, Dave in
the Run creates genre-blurring music that is introspective, soulful and
deeply human, drawing from both Western and Indian musical traditions.
