THE FAMOUS SPIEGELTENT
Lowrider
With smooth vocals over simple beats,
bass and keys, Adelaide’s Lowrider
creates an immaculate fusion of hip hop
and soul – the perfect music for kicking
back and cruising slow
Lowrider’s distinct sound has developed
organically, drawing on very diverse influences
including Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Curtis
Mayfield, The Roots, Mos Def and Erykah Badu.
Known for large-scale and outdoor live shows,
this concert brings Lowrider inside and focuses
on the simplicity and layering of the soulful sound
that is at the core of their music. The captivating
combination of solos, extended jams and bluesy
vocals is erudite and solid.
This concert is the night where the large-scale
comes to the living room. Lowrider’s cohesive
mix of R&B music, rugged vocals and raw hip
hop beats come intimately alive.
“Lowrider are the smoothest band
I’ve heard in a long time. They have
an incredible soulful sound with the
hip hop-esque driving groove. It’s
refreshing to hear music with this
much heart.” DJ Debris (Hilltop Hoods)

Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey have
collaborated in creating music for fifteen years.
In This Map is not to Scale, they amplify,
extend and over-emphasise some of the musical
ephemera they have created for dance, theatre
and film. By adjusting the focus of the eyepiece
and ear trumpet they create extended pieces from
tiny moments, making works which feature the
‘in-betweens, underneaths and rarely-mentioned’
of their practice.
