Bluebottle Kiss & Screamfeeder tour 2024: Adelaide
Fri 8 Nov @ 8:30 pm
BLUEBOTTLE KISS AND SCREAMFEEDER TOUR 2024
Two legendary Australian rock bands are playing three special shows in November 2024.
Bluebottle Kiss formed in Sydney in 1993, a turbulent time in the Australian independent music scene. They sound only like themselves: a strikingly volatile unit harnessing sweetness and ferocity, conjuring tales of personal vulnerability and a kind of warped Australiana.
The recent live album ‘Bluebottle Kiss: Never Leave Town – Live in Sydney’ captures the rich hues,
rough edges, sensitivity, menace and vitality of Bluebottle Kiss as they perform some of their most accomplished material to a packed house.
Love As Fiction, the boutique re-issue label out of Perth behind the Never Leave Town live album will also be re-releasing Bluebottle Kiss’ second album — 1996s’ ‘Fear of Girls’ on double gatefold vinyl. Produced by the legendary Seattle based Jack Endino (Mark Lanegan,
Nirvana, Afghan Whigs et al), ‘Fear of Girls’ is a sprawling, epic mix of the group’s ambitious take on noise-rock, folk, indie and psychedelia. 28 years later the new vinyl version is split
over four sides, and has been lovingly remastered by Jack Endino. To celebrate, Bluebottle
Kiss will once again reconvene for three shows across three states with the iconic Screamfeeder.
Screamfeeder need no introduction, but here goes! Lovers of loud and beautiful music
since they were each conceived, they have been compared to all the greats; Husker Du, The
Jam, The Replacements and The Who.
Contradictions and dualities abound within Screamfeeder, and therein lies their beauty. They
are the band you grew up with, whose songs are imprinted into the DNA of every music-lover
who came of age in the 90’s and 00’s. A band of eternally youthful fuzz-pop darlings who,
however improbably, have continued to play together for over thirty years and somehow have
not only gotten better, but have become even more loved. A band that combines loud with
beautiful, intense with joyous, chaotic with precise and pulls it all together in a way that very
few acts ever manage. After more than three decades, they are still releasing vital and
engaging music, as 2022’s ‘Five Rooms’ album proved.
