Announced alongside the launch of Displaced Records Melbourne's newest community label which focuses on equipping young and upcoming artists who have moved to Melbourne is a launch gig at 7pm on Wednesday the 30th of October at Collingwood music venue Nighthawks. This will be the first of many gigs that showcases some of the talented artists who now call Melbourne home and for it to be an opportunity for artists and audience to come together to support and celebrate artists who come from all different places.
The show will highlight three independent artists, Turge a playful punk band made up of mostly Canberra born musicians, LINA a experimental folk jazz project originally from rural Victoria and Tasmania born singer-songwriter, Melody aka Melodic Songbird a powerful CCA fresh on the Melbourne scene. The show promises a diverse set while celebrating the community and connection of musicians who now call Melbourne home.
The band TURGE temporarily going under the name SURGE for this show is the turbulent, tantalising band you need in your life. The trio, made up of Luca (our usual drummer Ange combusted during a show one night), Darcy and Pascale, take every tiny frustration and turn it into noisy, high-octane rock.
LINA is the new experimental jazz-folk project from Catalina (FKA Outtatime). Being inspired by the likes of Erykah Badu, Gorillaz and Alice Phoebe Lou — LINA draws on elements of all three and makes for something entirely her own. Characterised by her melancholy keys, expansive vocals and nylon string guitar, Cat invites you to melt into the sonic worlds that LINA allows her to cultivate.
Aspiring CCA, Melody homes in on her unique and expressive relationship with God to make soulful, mellifluent refrains of praise, interconnection, and pilgrimage. Using intuitive discernment to create varying emotionally and physically reflective outpourings of the essence of her being. Her music is a collective collaboration of pushing barriers, exploring new concepts, and allowing the music to be a new thing to behold and experience.
