Memorials (UK)

The first ever Australian tour byMEMORIALS (UK) with special guest, Hantu

Presented by Darebin Arts and Mistletone

Mistletone proudly presents the first ever Australian tour by MEMORIALS; the new duo of Verity Susman (Electrelane) and Matthew Sims (Wire, Better Corners, It Hugs Back, UUUU). The duo covers plenty of ground on stage, juggling instruments in a set up behooving a five-piece band. The MEMORIALS sound touches on the many points for which the duo are known, veering from melodic songwriting to psychedelic noise, free jazz freakouts, tape loops and drones and back again. Their double debut – Music For Film: Tramps! and Women Against The Bomb – soundtracks two films exploring the liminal period when the 1980s began to burst from the chrysalis of the ‘70s.

“Each album is like a trove of tapes uncovered after 40 years, one in the city, the other the countryside. How Susman and Simms present these many moods on stage is a problem that should be fun to watch them fathom” – THE GUARDIAN

Memorials will be joined by Hantu.
