to mix all the tropical wonders from Brazil with joy, music, love and
diversity, delivering a unique and nostalgic experience, bringing that

RICHARD CLAPTON – Four Decades of Hits! Past
Hits & Previews. His music has been the soundtrack of a generation….. he
is the legendary – Richard Clapton, Celebrating 4 decades of hits! With
a stellar career spanning 4 decades Richard Clapton is an Australian
music icon, his songs are the soundtrack of our lives. Richard has
continually recorded and released numerous records with an unmistakable
Australian sound. Clapton’s journey began when at just 16 he charmed his
way into a Sydney hotel to hang out with the Rolling Stones. From that
day on, Richard Clapton knew he was going to be a rock star. It's now
almost 50 years since that fateful day -years filled with a lifetime of
incredible experiences, outrageous good times and a catalogue of iconic
and timeless songs. Through the glory years of rock 'n' roll, bouncing
between London, Berlin, Sydney, Los Angeles and Paris, Richard forged
his own career and built up a significant body of work while living,
loving and partying with the biggest names in music. For 40 years,
Richard Clapton has been, above all else, a songwriter-a wry observer of
human behaviour and an astute commentator on the Australian condition.
His best songs- Deep Water, The Best Years of Our Lives, Goodbye Tiger,
Glory Road, Lucky Country, Girls on the Avenue, Trust Somebody and
Capricorn Dancer - capture the essence of this country and the meaning
of our lives like few others. Now you will have the chance to join
Richard Clapton as he shares a lifetime of memories on stage.

Emerging from one of the eddies in the
independent undercurrent of Brisbane’s 90s music scene, the past 2.5
decades have been of ceaseless reinventive spirit, playing with form and
flux, the affection of self-parody, ever ambling a rickety bridge of
modus vivendi, all bagged up with an effervescent outsider enthusiasm
that has never left their skin. And now... to pound the quarter century
mark with a fully blown visually rehabilitated retrospective of a show
straddling a holographic hyperbole of antiquated technology, trawling
the analogue back through the digital. And when it comes to those
ubiquitous lists... Maybe 11 ALBUMS or so if you count the live, Jingles
compilation and latest kids release; EPS surely must be 7 of these at
least... and in their time maybe 16 singles, a few 7inches and 5 or so
DVD releases. And MUSIC VIDEOS feels like maybe 47 or so of those...
SHIRTS jeez, must have been close to 120 or so designs spread across...
approximately 905 PERFORMANCES or thereabouts including maybe 25
national headline tours, 6 Big Day Out tours, so many festivals you
could poke a stick at... along with some great times playing with DEVO,
Boredoms, The Prodigy, TISM, Audio Active, CIV, The Mint Chicks, Ratatat,
Senyawa, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Helmet, The Melvins and more including
the odd collaborative excursions into theatre, dance, live soundtracks
and generally just bent on allowing an unstable ingenuity... and on that
note who could forget 21 days inside a glass BUBBLE! Whatever the extent
of this output means in the greater scheme of things the obvious
consistencies have always been the open pursuit of creative probity,
humour above serious intent, sustainable mentalities above any need for
dominance, and about as honest unto themselves as possible - whomever
that might be? All in all just playing to the ad-hoc... making it up as
it goes. Joining us for this head-brush of a warp drive through our
times is none other than Japan's coruscating icons of sugar punk power
popsters SHONEN KNIFE, along with erstwhile compadres in the mirthful
upending of contemporary culture THE FAUVES. As well as featuring the
always welcome festival invitations including CALOUNDRA MUSIC FESTIVAL
on SUN 6 OCT, and LOST LANDS in Werribee on SUN 3 NOV (which also
feature ever bending kids adventure POGOGO SHOW) we also present 2 days
of extended celebration in hometown BRISBANE featuring on Saturday from
5.00pm - DICKLORD, TOTAL PACE (tbc?) and FAT ; and on Sunday from 3.00pm
- KOKO UZI, THE STRESS OF LEISURE and SCREAMFEEDER . REGURGITATOR.
Quarter Pounder - 25 years of being consumed. With guest superlatives at
selected stores... SHONEN KNIFE & THE FAUVES
