SATURDAY, JULY 27: ROSS MCLENNAN & THE NEW WORLD play The Spotted Mallard (314 Sydney Rd, Brunswick) with special guests The Orbweavers in duo & trio mode + Dishpan Fingers. Tickets $12 + booking fee on sale now from the venue, or $15 at the door. Doors open 8:30pm.

One of Australian indie rock’s true songwriting heroes, Ross McLennan brings his ensemble The New World to The Spotted Mallard on Saturday, July 27 for one of his rare and riveting live performances. Showcasing the evocative compositions from his recently released third solo album, The Night’s Deeds Are Vapour, as well as his other acclaimed solo works Sympathy For The New World and Hits From The Brittle Building — and quite possibly a fondly remembered Snout classic or two — Ross will be accompanied by his ensemble of strings, woodwind and a choir for a lush, simply breathtaking performance. Ross will be joined by Mistletone labelmates The Orbweavers, performing in duo and trio mode, and debuting some never-before-head and beautiful new songs. Dishpan Fingers will open the evening. An irresistible lineup!
