On May 4th, Tilly Vickers Willis and her 5-piece band play upstairs at Grace Darling to welcome the release of Circuit, the first single from her debut album.
The single launch event will take place on a cosy Autumn Sunday afternoon. Heart-felt music, espresso, pastries, wine and slow chess-games will fill the dwindling sunlit day with cosy ambience. All are welcome & encouraged to bring the tools that make them comfortable and engaged, whether it’s knitting project, notepad, camera or a pack of cards.
Promoted by Holy Trinity, the Circuit launch will also feature Melbourne sweethearts Flesh Cherub (3-piece) and Sascha Mรผller (full band).
Tilly Vickers Willis
As the opening moments of Naarm/Melbourne singer-songwriter Tilly Vickers Willisโ show unfold, her smoky, timeless soundscapes swell to fill the room. Taking influence from groundbreaking artists like PJ Harvey, Beck, Cate Le Bon, Suzanne Vega, and Franรงoise Hardy, Vickers Willis weaves together layered and sophisticated sonic textures, transporting listeners into the worlds that exist within her music. In May, Tilly brings her 5-piece band on tour for the first time. The tour marks the first single ‘Circuit’ for the artist, who will be releasing her debut album in September: โ๐๐ช๐ณ๐ค๐ถ๐ช๐ตโ ๐ข๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ค๐ข๐ฑ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ช๐ข๐ณ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ – ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด๐ด.”
Flesh Cherub are self-described “Sad Boi Yeehaw Soul”.
Says TVW: Flesh Cherub’s live band is comprised of nylon string guitar, pedal steel, unrestrained backing vocals and poetry with a disarming asymmetry. Always playing with the form of DIY-sad-country, Flesh Cherub turns you inward, outward and in again; with heartache, rage, humour, hope and arresting energy.
Australian singer-songwritter Sascha Muller pairs honest and thoughtful lyrics with soulful guitar. Experimental chords mark her boundless curiosity and evoke a sense of warm, wintery blues. Happy and sad, dark and hopeful.
Says TVW: Next time it’s raining, play Sascha Mรผller’s album ‘Myth of Quiet’. Her music is comfort, and her compositions unfold as pure and effortless as rain on a train window, at once distorting and softening the world rushing past.
