With the sawdust swept away, and the finishing touches being put on the Brisbane Powerhouse for its re-launch across the Queen’s Birthday weekend, Pauhaus is pleased to announce the final line-up for Saturday 9 June. Pauhaus is also chuffed to host the national album launch of Write Your Adventures Down – A Tribute To The Go-Betweens.
A true modern-day lover, David McCormack emerged from Kenmore circa 1970 to become a pivotal player in many of Brisbane’s most (and least!) important bands of the 1990s. Including – and in no particular order – Who’s Gerald, Custard, COW (and its offshoot Calf), and Frank ‘n’ Stein.
After the demise of Custard in 2000, David went on to lead The Titanics, and then hit it solo with his backing band, The Polaroids. Pauhaus is pleased as punch that David will be stripping it back with just a guitar for company when he plays in acoustic mode in the Visy Theatre.
The final addition to the Pauhaus bill is Melbourne’s The Temper Trap. Currently a four-piece on the look-out for a fifth member, The Temper Trap have spent the last 12 months honing their live show in front of audiences around the country, supporting bands like Modest Mouse, Kasabian and The Dears.
Be amongst the first to hear tracks from Write Your Adventures Down – A Tribute To The Go-Betweens as Pauhaus hosts the very special national launch. The album will be released almost one year since Grant McLennan passed away unexpectedly. It was assembled by David McCormack and his former Custard band-mate Glenn Thompson, who was touring with the Go-Betweens in their final live configuration.
Write Your Adventures Down, in-stores Saturday 16 June, features amongst others, Dan Kelly ( Head Full of Steam ), Augie March ’s Glenn Richards ( The House That Jack Kerouac Built ), Sarah Blasko ( Bye Bye Pride ) and Patience Hodgson from The Grates performing Lee Remick, which was instantly added to Triple J this week.
Expect to hear album tracks spinning all day at Pauhaus and a few lucky punters will be taking their own copy home at the end of the night.
PAUHAUS is an all-ages event, but is in a licensed venue. If you wish to drink, please bring ID.
