Q.E. 'Bottled Up' Single Launch

Q.E.

So this is Q.E., the musical fever dream of Jacky Collyer from nipaluna/Hobart. Q.E. makes music the way some people make sense of a senseless world - by embracing the beautiful mess of it all. She takes Radiohead's existential dread, marries it to Aphex Twin's digital hallucinations, and lets it all simmer in the jazz-soaked influence of Billie, and Ella, and somehow this impossible recipe produces something that crawls into the deep places of your brain where you keep the thoughts you don't tell your psych about. When Q.E. takes the stage with Damien Kingston (guitar), Hamish Houston (bass) and Tom Robb (drums), strange things happen. The shadows lean in closer to listen. The walls breathe. The ceiling lowers. Everyone leaves a little changed. So it goes.

This event takes place on Muwinina Country in what is colonially known as nipaluna/Hobart, stolen land where genocide was perpetrated against the original custodians. We acknowledge the Palawa community who maintain their deep connection to Country through ongoing resistance and cultural continuation, despite centuries of colonial violence. As settler musicians, it is a profound responsibility to play music on this unceded land, and we commit to standing alongside First Nations peoples in their fight for justice, sovereignty and the return of Country.
