Alex Elbery is throwing a party to celebrate the release of his new single ‘Ripcord’ at Last Chance Rock ’n’ Roll Bar on December 14th.

Joining him will be absolute sweethearts and local emo legends The Lasy Susans 

a rare and priceless stripped back set from the Flying So High-O’s 

and the always mesmerising, always melancholy; Kelsie Rimmer (whom you may know from such cool bands as Damaged Goods Club.)

 

Tickets are $15 presale

$20 on the door.

Doors at 8pm.

Starting production before the COVID pandemic, the journey to finally releasing Ripcord was lined with hurdles for Elbery, both internal and external. But against the odds and also sonically inspired by a myriad of iconic artists at the time, including Bruce Springsteen, The Clash, and Cyndi Lauper, Elbery’s buoyant capturing of impetuous love was also fortified by teaming up with prolific producer Jon Grace (Dear Seattle, Bakers Eddy, Kingswood, Dune Rats).

Mastered by Tony “Jack The Bear” Mantz (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Augie March, Silverchair), Ripcord is a lively and polished outing from Elbery, whose creative charms have previously been described as “Bruce Springsteen meets The Muppets” and “Outback Prince”. And while Ripcord is the first release of 2024 for Elbery, it also marks the debut single from a planned upcoming EP Unbelievably Good News

The Lazy Susans (FKA Antonia & The Lazy Susans) are an Indie rock band from Melbourne, VIC. Their music explores themes of love, loss, and the journey of rebuilding after heartache, offering a message of hope amidst the trials of life.

The Flying So High-Os are "verbose, heartfelt songwriting with a little folk punk grit." With the signature nylon string sound of frontman Jerome Knappett, theirsongs highlight an undeniable ability to weave unique vocals with charming lyricism and intricate guitar lines. The results will circle in your head, and we trust you'll enjoy every lap. 

Melbourne-based singer/songwriter Kelsie Rimmer has won the hearts of music lovers nationwide over the last decade with her melancholy yet mesmerising sound. Also the lead singer of Melbourne pop-rock outfit Damaged Goods Club, Kelsie is best known for her vulnerable lyrics, heartfelt storytelling, and unique ethereal voice.
