TWERPS & DICK DIVER (COLLABORATIVE SET)
GEOFFREY O’CONNOR THE STEVENS + MORE
WEDNESDAY 20 NOVEMBER 7 PM – 1 AM THE RESIDENCE

Founded in 1992, Chapter Music is one of Australia’s longest running and most highly respected independent labels. Following on from 2012’s 20th anniversary extravaganza at North Melbourne Town Hall, Chapter are celebrating their 21st birthday this year at The Residence, with a curated night of new and unexpected musical pleasures. The bittersweet jangle-poppin’ Twerps have played sell-out shows throughout the US, Australia and NZ, and released a number of critically esteemed records on international labels. Guitar slinging indie foursome Dick Diver have wowed festival audiences and produced one of the year’s

most cherished albums, Calendar Days. For one-time-only, these two Melbourne icon acts are joining forces to present an extraordinary collaborative set, which may or may not include covers, guest vocalists and various instrument swapping. Also taking the stage is suave pop-meister Geoffrey O’Connor, with a preview of songs from his forthcoming second album, and a swag of new Chapter signings; Bushwalking, the Ancients, Darren Sylvester and the Stevens. This night will showcase the foresight and industry prowess that has helped shape Chapter as one of the country’s most vital independent record labels.

CANYONS & DANIEL BOYD PRESENT 100 MILLION NIGHTS (EXCLUSIVE MELBOURNE DEBUT)
ROLAND TINGS STANDISH/CARLYON ANDRAS FOX (LIVE) + MORE
THURSDAY 21 NOVEMBER 7 PM – 1 AM THE RESIDENCE

For their ?rst time as part of the MMW program, Modular are jumping in with both feet, taking the reins of The Residence for an evening which showcases the best in emerging ‘Australiana’ talent - from Melbourne and beyond. In an audio-visual collaboration between Modular Recordings artist Canyons and globally renowned visual artist Daniel Boyd, 100 Million Nights will make its ?rst-ever Melbourne appearance. Fresh off the back of debut shows at GoMA (Brisbane) and MoNA (Hobart), this carefully constructed performance will reinterpret Aboriginal and Australian-European history, and explore the subjective reality of what we are taught, and what we believe. Through video installation across three giant connecting

screens, and an original score performed by Canyons as a four-piece band, 100 Million Nights offers an emotive and psychedelic experience for the mind, body and soul. Supporting this unique offering, a raft of Melbourne’s favourite artists will also take the stage. In their only performances for MMW this year, acid house lab-rat Roland Tings and futurist dub/pop duo Standish/ Carlyon will play alongside the dreamy, lush soundscapes of Andras Fox (live), with Spunk Records’ Shining Bird and Club Mod DJs ?lling in the beats.
