Rachel Collis And Band
Event Date: 21/09/2013, 08:00 pm
...perform a quirky, provocative & unpredictable collection of her best tunes.
Now attacking the piano like a savage, now pleading by it, now subverting it cheekily, Rachel delivers an unforgettable concert with virtuosic support from Michael Galeazzi (bass) and Michael Quigley (drums).
A ‘consummate entertainer’ said Megaphone Oz, ‘sheer genius’, said Australian Stage, declaring the ‘prodigy’ of her songwriting.
Expect original songs you’ll be humming for days.
And expect more: instruments exploited in ways the physicists said were impossible, and genre-mashers of Greek myth and rewritten Shakespeare. Rachel’s songs take simple propositions into dangerous territory. She tames the exotic, and in the next breath turns the familiar upside down. Her songs creep up and say ‘boo!’
Delightfully, it’s infused with humour.
For style, think Tim Minchin, Regina Spektor, or Ben Folds. And none of the above.
As reviewer Lloyd Bradford Syke writes: she’s “as animated as The Bugs Bunny Show and just as funny. Yet, when she turns her hand to a sensitive, searching ballad, she thrusts a knife in your chest that pierces your heart. Not only does she possess a linguistic gift, but a profound talent for storytelling, structure (melody, harmony, rhythm) and orchestration. She's a one-off; an original.”
So, book your tickets and see what all the fuss is about!
