LIAM FINN + DAN KELLY: Sunday, November 29, 6:00pm: Liam Finn + Dan Kelly at Newtown Social Club. Tickets on sale now.

Liam Finn teams up with Dan Kelly; two great songwriterly forces, reckoning with each other in the double bill of our dreams for an intimate Sydney shows in Melbourne and Sydney. Tickets for Liam & Dan’s Sydney show at Newtown Social Club are also on sale now.

This solo tour is a rare chance to see New York-based Liam Finn in intimate solo mode. It is Liam’s first show back in Australia since 2011, and a return to his one-man band show last seen around the time of I’ll Be Lightning, his solo debut released shortly after disbanding Betchadupa in 2007. Since then he’s released two brilliant solo albums, FOMO (2011) and most recently, last year’s The Nihilist which featured the infectious single “Helena Bonham Carter”, and was a top ten chart hit in New Zealand.

Liam toured The Nihilist with his band the “Dream Team”, featuring his brother Elroy Finn, long time collaborator Elize-Jane Barnes, Cecilia Herbert and Jimmy Metherell, along with frequent live members Connan Mockasin, Kirin J Callinan and Matthew Eccles. Over the past 8 years Liam has toured the world performing with the likes of Wilco, Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam, Deerhoof and The Black Keys, performing at such famous venues as La Paradiso, Largo, Bowery Ballroom, La Scala and on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.
Dan Kelly’s brand new, fourth studio album Leisure Panic is an interactive travelogue of his life. It’s the real and hyper-real story of Dan’s last few years dropping out on the NSW North Coast, across jaunts to the Greek Isles and Berlin for inspiration and cheap cigarettes. Dan’s style has been described as romantic comedy noir Kraut rock soul folk with added Euro electro sadness jams floating in a melange of pre indie heritage.
