Pauhaus festival adds two more

Thu 19th Apr, 2007 in Local News

Tickets are on sale now for the re-launch of the newly refurbished Brisbane Powerhouse as a contemporary music venue. The inaugural Pauhaus festival falls on Saturday 9 June 2007 (Queen’s Birthday weekend) and already boasts a stellar line-up including the likes of The Grates and The Panics.

But why settle at that? Organisers are thrilled to announce the great Ed Kuepper and the emerging Red Ghost as additions to the festival.

Currently taking in the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, and a few London headline dates, Ed Kuepper is one of Australia’s most influential artists. From The Saints to the Laughing Clowns to his solo work, he is the man. Don’t miss his headline performance in the Visy Theatre – an exclusively acoustic space in the multi-stage venue.

At the other end of the career spectrum, Sydney songstress Rosa Agostino will open the Visy Theatre under her Red Ghost moniker. Commonly compared to other amazing female artists such as Cat Power, Mazzy Star and Fiona Apple, Rosa will perform songs from her recently released Brittle Times EP.

Pauhaus is an all-ages event, but is in a licensed venue. If you wish to drink, please bring ID.

The line-up: The Grates, The Panics, Ed Kuepper, Expatriate, Red Riders, Dappled Cities Fly, Macromantics, Purple Sneakers feat. PhDJ, Bit by Bats, Whitley, Wons Phreely, Operator Please, Violent Soho, Yves Klein Blue and Red Ghost.

Tickets for PAUHAUS are $49.50 and are on sale from Monday 16 April.
