ISIS + Sarah Stockholm

Electric Moon presents Isis performing in full acoustic ensemble mode for this very special headline show. The band will perform songs from their three albums, as well as new material, and will be joined onstage by guest musicians Ruth Gardner, Karl O'Shea, and opening act Sarah Stockholm (in duo mode with guest guitarist Mark Angel).

Isis are a much-loved Brisbane band built around the core line-up of singer/songwriters Lucinda Shaw, Rozi Pizzey, Toni Lawson and multi-instrumentalist James Lees. Beginning in Brisbane in the 1990s, they blazed a trail throughout their home city and the nation, becoming known for their elaborately staged shows, genre-hopping music and the three lusciously entwined voices. Many of their songs addressed gender politics, feminism and queer sexuality. In this first incarnation, the band created four independent releases, performed at numerous festivals (including Brisbane Pride, Mardi Gras, Livid, Woodford), scored multiple positions in the 4ZZZ Hot 100 and secured an enduring and dedicated fanbase. More recently, the band has performed for Festival 2018, Brisbane Powerhouse, and The Zoo's 30th birthday celebrations. In 2022, Isis released their interpretation of Massive Attack's iconic song 'Protection' and are currently working on material for a planned new album.

Sarah Stockholm fuses together 70s/80s post-punk and synth-pop with moody atmospherics to create dark and danceable electronica. Performing in rare duo mode Stockholm will lay bare her songs, scratching at the soft underbelly of deeply personal lyrics - sharp angles and cool lushness will way to sparse, haunting arrangements and Sarah’s arresting vocals. Sarah Stockholm released 2023 album Trace of Humanity to wide praise and strong community radio play from the likes of 4ZZZ and 3RRR in Melbourne. She has performed at iconic venues across Brisbane and a range of festivals include Queensland Cabaret Festival, Spark Festival and Sunlit Sounds.
