CHARLIE IVAN BAND (Mparntwe/ Alice Springs)

Charlie Ivan Band return to Melbourne for a one-off show at The Curtin, bringing songs from their forthcoming second record alongside material from their debut album Where the Dogs Go to Die.

'The debut album from Mpwartne/Alice Springs outfit Charlie Ivan Band uses ballads as a vehicle for such back-porch contemplations. Frontperson Charlie Ivan first wrote the songs on Where the Dogs Go to Die alone; his unembellished but emotionally impactful piano playing giving the record its tragic, longing mood. That, and his coarse, Leonard-Cohen in-a-room-with-blinds-pulled-tight shut voice, heavy with burden, regret and confusion.' (Lindsay Riley, FBi radio).Listen HEREJoin for Updates HERE
