Edi Donald & The Transients

Answered by: Edi Donald

Describe your show in a tweet? Be completely transported by a gripping, visceral, theatrical electro-acoustic performance, delivered with gusto by an Alice Springs six-piece band.

Why did you decide to do Fringe 2015? We have been chomping at the bit to tour some shows on the coast, as most of the band are really busy with other work in remote parts of the Central Desert and it’s epic for us to get away. Adelaide Fringe is a great way for independent artists like us to shape and produce their own shows, and get out there during a really pumping and receptive time in Adelaide.

Tell us a bit about the creative team working on this project? I am the songwriter, singer, guitarist and manager of our band currently, Shon Klose is the drummer and percussionist, Isabelle Kirkbride is the cellist, Claire Wieland is on the violin and vocals, Rebecca Matthews is on Kora, trumpet, and vocals, Svetlana Bunic plays accordion, bass and ukulele.

In a fantasy world who would you be the love child of and why? Nina Hagen, Lhasa DeSela, Lee Hazlewood and Bjork... I’d have multiple parents... Well, imagine the voice on me if those were my parents!!!!
