New Slang is back at it again with a hot lineup for the September installment. This month, Georgia Maq from Camp Cope will deliver an intimate solo show. The alternative trio released their debut LP last year and it reached the Top 40 in the ARIA album chart. Furthermore, their eponymous album got a nomination for triple J’s very own J Award for Australian Album of the year. Huge accomplishment. Their hit Keep Growing will likely remind you of Courtney Barnett’s style of songwriting and vocal delivery. They have supported big acts like Against Me! and will be supporting Pup and Modern Baseball for their Australian tours later this year. Lastly, they’re also scheduled to play at St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival. Big things are coming for them. Long story short, you should come to New Slang as this might be your only opportunity to experience a rare solo show from the amazing musician. Waterfall Person and June Jones will be playing before Maq. It’s highly recommended to head to Waterfall Person’s website (leakywave.com) if you want to check out their catchy tunes. The Push’s Social Media coordinator, Shaad D’Souza, even claimed that, “This is quite literally the best lineup I have ever seen.” Keen? Head to artscentremelbourne.com.au to purchase tickets; they’re only ten bucks. See you all there.
This Thursday August 31, Trash Boat will be playing Wrangler Studios with Between You & Me.
