The Living End To Divulge Their Secrets At Conference

Although they’re no strangers to the stage, The Living End will be putting on a different kind of performance at his year’s Face The Music conference.

The legendary Australian band have today been announced as a subject of a ‘Focus On’ panel at the Melbourne conference and will be joined by longtime manager Rae Harvey to discuss the highs and lows of their history, the genesis of their hits and the future of the band. They join the likes of iconic US musicians and producer Steve Albini and BBC radio host Jen Long, who’ve already been announced or the event.

In revealing the full program today Face The Music have announced that Nai Palm of Grammy-nominated Hiatus Kaiyote will deliver this year’s APRA AMCOS Masterclass, while Kirin J Callinan will explain his sound, Gossling will host a Q&A and Ross Irwin will explain his approach to adding strings and horns to tracks.

Panels like ‘I Come From A Band Down Under’ (a study of breaking overseas) and the ‘Splendour Forum Debate: Will There Ever Be Another Elvis?’ have also been confirmed today.

Tickets to the conference – and to the exclusive workshops mentioned above – are available through the Face The Music site. It takes place Friday 14 and Saturday 15 November.
