It's been a while, but The catholics are back in action and shaping up for a number of shows in the next few months, leading to the release of our fifth album Gondola, on Rufus Records (through Universal) in April.
We will be launching Gondola in Sydney at a venue TBA, but until then:
*This Saturday, we're at the Sound Lounge at the Seymour Centre, for the Sydney Improvised Music Association. We're on from 8.30 to 11pm, with special guest, the wonderful Carl Dewhurst filling in for Bruce Reid. Carl was on board for our triumphant concert in the cathedral at the Wangaratta Jazz Festival late last year, which featured all the material we'd just recorded for Gondola.
8.30 pm, Sat 28th January
Sound Lounge, Seymour Centre
Cnr City Rd and Cleveland St, Chippendale Tix $15, $13 JazzGroove, Jazz Action and student, $12 SIMA members Box office 9351 7940 (booking fees may apply)
And a couple for the diary:
*We're playing in Canberra at the National Multicultural Festival, doing one set at 8pm on Saturday 11th February at Stage 2 (Ainslie Avenue), and then two sets from 9pm on Sunday 12th February at the Hippo Lounge Bar, Garema Place.
*On Sunday 12th March, we're doing a spot from 12.30 at Victoria Park, as part of the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of Oxfam's Walk Against Want. This will be a great occasion, all for a very good cause. More details closer to the date, but perhaps you night consider participating in the Walk Against Want if you're not already doing so.
