It’s a good week for nostalgia here in Perth, with a handful of classic touring acts in town (in case Phil Collins last week wasn’t enough!) If the local scene is more up your alley, there’s an abundance of shows is going on there too, as well as FRINGE WORLD ongoing. Check out our Event Guide for a wider range of suggestions, and feel free to send through anything we’re missing to guide@xpressmag.com.au.
1. Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators
Slash leaves behind his Guns N’ Roses counterparts to team up with the formidable Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators at RAC Arena this Sunday, February 3. Two times the talent equals two times the fun.
2. UB40
Ali, Astro and Mickey are aptly celebrating 40 years of musicianship and their latest album in 2019. The reggae icons are paying a visit to our state, both in the big smoke at Red Hill Auditorium and down south at Clancy’s Dunsborough this week.
3. Did You Hear What I Saw?
As part of the gigantuan arts festival that is FRINGE, pals Tom Skelton and Tom GK are taking their kid-friendly comedy show Did You Hear What I Saw? to the Subiaco Arts Centre from today (Thursday) through to Saturday. The pair are blind and deaf respectively, and are bound to woo the crowd with stories of their unique friendship.
4. Deep Sea Arcade
Deep Sea Arcade are hitting Mojos Bar this Sunday evening, featuring some faces you may recognise; Eric J. Dubowsky of Flume and The Chemical Brothers fame, as well as drummer Matt Johnson who has worked with big names such as St. Vincent, Angus & Julia Stone and Jeff Buckley back in the day.
5. Local launches
This week in local launches, tonight (Thursday) brings us Littlehawk‘s new album festivities at Mojos Bar, Wooly Mammoth‘s single launch at The Bird on Friday, and Mt. Mountain‘s album launch at Fridays Studios on Saturday. Aside from that, Boom! Bap! Pow! are celebrating their 10th anniversary with a new single at Mojos Bar also on Saturday, so take your pick!
