Clairaudience

Melbourne's Clairaudience celebrate the release of their long-awaited new album 'The Clueless Hitchhiker' with a very special two-set launch show at the Bergy Bandroom. Forged from decades of family, friendship and shared musical history, Clairaudience: Daniel Jumpertz (guitar/vocals), Caroline Jumpertz (drums), Mick Jumpertz (bass) and Chris Smales (lead guitar), bring a rare depth and cohesion to everything they do. Daniel and Chris's 50-year friendship alone speaks to the kind of bond that can't be manufactured. The Clueless Hitchhiker is a richly melodic exploration of modern alienation, fragmented identity and the search for connection. Drawing on the jangly intelligence of The Go-Betweens, the raw swagger of 70s Stones, the hooks of classic power pop, R.E.M.'s atmospheric folk-rock, and the angular cool of early Talking Heads and Television, the album is resolute, visceral and - above all - gloriously melodic. Joining them for the night are My Imaginary Friend , purveyors of hazy slowcore and dream pop, plus magician Liam 'LJ' Jumpertz , bringing his own brand of illusion to the evening. Doors open early. Don't miss it.
