Noah Skape Launches Epic Punk Rock Meets Sci-Fi Theatre Experience

This Saturday and Sunday (June 15 and 16), Aussie performer Noah Skape will launch his epic punk rock meets sci-fi theatre experience, Specimens.

With special guests Cece Desist, Miss Phoria and Fusslenose, the show will take place at the Liberty Theatre basement on Barrack Street in Perth. The theatre experience is being held as part of this year’s STRANGE Festival (14-23 June).

According to a synopsis, Specimens follows a father trying to protect his newborn child in a city gripped by headlines about missing people and the involvement of a suspected serial killer.

Specimens is Skape’s debut sci-fi/thriller story and is set to meet between a punk show and a play starring Perth’s finest musical performers and drag artists. Skape will be supported by multi-instrumentalist Huey Brazadich (Drapht).

In a statement, Skape said of his upcoming exclusive shows, “Specimens is a genre-defying theatrical concert blending live punk rock energy with a gripping sci-fi narrative.

“Exploring themes of humanity, identity, and acceptance, it follows a man's dark quest to secure his child's future, delving into the sobering consequences of his actions.

“With a stellar cast of Perth's finest performers and drag artists, this production, exclusive to Strange Fest and the City Of Perth, challenges perceptions and ignites imaginations. Running for two nights only, brace yourself for the twisted world and gripping story of Specimens.”

Previously known as the energetic vocalist for Perth theatrical punk band FAIM, Noah Skape draws from influences as diverse as Andrew Lloyd Webber, Amanda Palmer, Danny Elfman, Against Me!, and Bad Religion, giving theatrical punk a good name.

With FAIM, Skape was nominated for the 2013 WAM Award for Best Punk/Hardcore Group, and with his solo work, he received a nomination for the 2023 Song Of The Year for Real World, released in September 2022.
