SUMMARY:THE WHITLAMS - Return to Rock Island
LOCATION:Hoey Moey Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Join The Whitlams this October as they embark on an old-fashion
 ed East Coast pub run. “Return to Rock Island” takes the band back to 
 its favourite rock rooms\, where if only the walls could talk about the jo
 yful two\, three and four night residencies over the decades. Long sweaty 
 nights at these pubs formed the bedrock of The Whitlams ’ reputation as 
 a memorable force in the Australian live scene. What better way to mix thi
 ngs up after the elegance of the celebrated Orchestral ’26 tour\, with i
 ts eight symphony orchestras\, 30\,000 people\, and concert halls across t
 he country. Now it’s back to the pubs where the audience is standing up 
 close. Joining the bill for the whole tour is William Crighton with band\,
  promoting his 4th studio album\, ‘Colonial Drift’. The pioneer of Bus
 h-Psych and a bold voice of Australian folk rock\, Crighton weaves stories
  of land\, spirit\, and struggle with raw intensity. The tour opens at two
  pubs where the band held Sunday afternoon residencies back in 1994 - Hote
 l Brunswick just north of Byron Bay\, and the Hoey Moey in Coffs Harbour. 
 From there\, multiple nights at The Triffid in Brisbane and The Corner Hot
 el in Melbourne\, before a long- awaited return to Sydney’s Metro Theatr
 e\, the venue where the band filmed its live DVD performance in 2004. The 
 set list will tend towards the high energy side of the seven album reperto
 ire - loud\, and built for a crowd with nowhere to sit. Tim Freedman is jo
 ined by stalwarts Terepai Richmond on drums and Jak Housden on guitar\, wi
 th Ian Peres returning on bass and keys. "The songs splash colours across 
 a portrait of a lonesome\, inner-city suburbia that few others can match f
 or original detail and authenticity.... The Whitlams have never sounded ev
 en mildly like anybody else." - The Newcastle Herald\, 2022\n\nBoletos: ht
