Camille O’Sullivan
The Dark Angel
Melbourne Festival offers a second chance to catch one of the
standout acts of 2007. Experience the rawness, the rock, the
heart, the soul, the sheer energy and humour of Toshi Reagon
and BIGLovely: pure aural electricity
“A cross between Sally Bowles, Patti Smith and PJ Harvey …
a major star.” The Scotsman
Toshi Reagon and BIGLovely’s concerts at The Famous Spiegeltent last year
were hugely embraced events. Reagon’s style is a rousing blend of retro funk,
urban blues, gospel and folk. A throwback to classic R&B artists with some old
school rock thrown in, Reagon can take any style, update it and make it her
own. She is an artist known for energetic performances and an exemplary gift
for writing songs that provoke listeners to think and have fun at the same time.
Dirty chords and pulsating rhythms provide perfect accompaniment to the
strong, dusky silk of Reagon’s voice.
Toshi Reagon and BIGLovely Trio are also performing in Bendigo,
Dandenong and Frankston. See page 63 for details.

“[Reagon] sets the pace, settling into a killer
groove with the band … Spontaneity and working
with the audience are her strengths and make for
a hugely entertaining night.” Australian Stage

Camille O’Sullivan returns to Melbourne Festival to close the Beck’s
Bar in huge style with a moody new show of the dark, darker and darkest
songs of Nick Cave, Jacques Brel, Tom Waits, David Bowie and more. With
recent sell-out seasons in New York, UK and Ireland, Camille was one of the
top selling shows in the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and was awarded
Spirit of the Fringe.
Sexy, fierce, amusing and mesmerising, her shows are truly theatrical, like
an actor telling a story through music rather than just simply singing songs.
A chameleon on stage, each song becomes a different character that she
honestly and painfully inhabits. Nothing is ever quite what it seems.
“Gorgeous chanteuse Camille O’Sullivan … She
is an astonishing performer, a mix of childlike
joy and sophisticated temptress, with a voice
that in turn cajoles, smoulders and belts out.”
