Mistletone proudly presents Connan Mockasin bringing the premiere screening of Bostyn ‘n Dobsyn plus Jassbusters live in concert.

Witness the world’s first absurdist drama as Connan Mockasin premieres his film Bostyn ‘n Dobsyn, featuring material from his new concept album Jassbusters, the follow up to 2013’s critically acclaimed album Caramel.

Three fully seated shows on Australia’s east coast will see Connan unveil Jassbusters to the world, an idiosyncratic band of high school music teachers fronted by Mr. Bostyn – the ageing guitarist who plays the starring role in the accompanying film. Connan and his band will round off the night with a live performance.

Connan Mockasin released his first album Forever Dolphin Love in 2010, and has gone on to build a devoted worldwide fan base. He has toured with Radiohead, and has collaborated with the likes of Charlotte Gainsbourg, James Blake and MGMT.

PRAISE FOR JASSBUSTERS:

  • “Career-best” – Uncut (album of the month) 8/10 stars
  •  “Sublime” – Mojo (4/5 stars)
  • It reaffirms Mockasin’s status as the maddest biscuit in the box” – Q Magazine (4/5 stars)
