BEATRICE
PRINCESS 1.5
BRIGHT FRIGHT

Hailing from the wild skies of melbourne, beatrice produces layered electronic soundscapes, her feathered trip hop beats support voice, strings and sound. Her fragile voice soars above oceans of bassy depths and stormy treble clouds. A voyage through melancholic parables... she intertwines the truthful and emotive, creating a world of untamed sonic wilderness. Beatrice will be residing at The Empress for the month of Feb with special guests. Week one features Princess 1.5 (SJ's birthday show!) and Bright Fright.

Doors: 8.00pm / $5

She and her band are taking residence for the month February so we can all get friendlier. Week two also features the talents of The Wellingtons and Mighty Sun.

INEVITABLE ORBIT
PEOPLE PERSON
MAD NANNA

Three of Melbourne's more daring soundmakers are teaming up for a night of experimental madness at The Empress Hotel this Friday.

Speaking of Europe, People Person have just returned from shows in Berlin and Mad Nanna will be as eclectic as always. Settle in for a mind-blowing one.

Faspeedelay - ahead of a Canberra/Sydney tour and sundry festival/support shows with their Dreamland Recordings release in hand. A Second Understanding - playing in MelbourNe after last year's appearance at the out of town Paddock Bash Festival. Should be an intriguing afternoon of choons.
