AUSTRALIA SINCE I LEFT YOU FOXTEL FESTIVAL HUB A CELEBRATION OF THE AVALANCHES JONTI Built out of more than 3,500 distinct samples, Since I Left You, The Avalanches’ legendary mash-up masterwork, has long been considered impossible to perform live. Now Sydney’s Astral People have produced a euphoric tribute to this Australian classic, teaming up with the electro-pop wonder-kid Jonti and a 17-person orchestra to bring the album to life, song by seminal song. Joyous, chaotic and exhilarating, Since I Left You is a perfect tribute to an album that changed music forever.
