Premiere
BECK’S BAR
GLORIA DELUXE
Melbourne Festival reopens the Beck’s Bar with an incredibly
rich and vibrant program of contemporary music and
performance
“Ethereal, demanding, exuberant rock.” Time Out New York
In week two of the Festival, Beck’s Bar takes over Arts House, Meat
Market in North Melbourne, home to the most exciting and innovative
of arts projects.
2008 sees a lively and eclectic program that ranges from wry comedy,
gypsy ‘turbofolk’ and a dash of cabaret to dirty chords, gospel-infused
rock, ‘downtown’ exuberance and gorgeous indie pop all in the
magnificent piece of Melbourne history that is the Meat Market.
If you love adventurous and gutsy music this is the place to be.
As this is a licensed venue, anyone under 18 years of age must be
accompanied by an adult.

The genre-spanning Gloria Deluxe is a musical group fronted by composer,
lyricist and performer Cynthia Hopkins. As timeless as it is immediately
engaging, the unique sound of Gloria Deluxe creeps from dark country noir
via wasted whiskey-toned folk to torch songs from a forgotten cabaret.
Be swept along on a journey – from hope and exhilaration, through heartache
and despair, to redemption and grace and back again. The band cites a wide
range of influences, including Laurie Anderson, Skip James, and Tom Waits.
Cynthia Hopkins is also performing a solo show at Beck’s Bar @ Meat
Market. See page 34 for more information.
