Tone List presents: Sulla Lingua (IT/AUS), Craig Pedersen & Jane Stark, and Gracie Smith

"good-time-math-prog-disco-slow-head-banging" - Improved Sequence

For the weird rock dogs out there Tone List is excited to bring over "the world’s only Australian-Italian electroacoustic noise rock trio", Sulla Lingua. An alliance between Italian out-improvisers Riccardo la Foresta & Stefano Pilia and the prolific Castlemaine-based composer Anthony Pateras, the trio's live sets are a pummeling mix of drum kit hammering, baritone guitar melodies and Doepfer modular drones. This happens over layers of samples procured from the sonic experimentation each of them is staunchly dedicated to in their solo practice. Silly brainiac rock for those inclined towards the likes of The Dead C, Slint or Lotto.

Joining them on the night is a collaborative set between rock/free improv hybridisers Jane Stark & Craig Pedersen, & post-metal & free improv experimentalist Gracie Smith back in fine form on solo drum kit. Please note that Sara Salt, who was originally slated to be part of the lineup, is unable to perform.

Accessibility

Downstairs at The Buffalo Club is wheelchair accessible via ramp. Some of the pathways in the venue are narrow and can be crowded.

The show will be loud, with drones and loud percussion. We have free earplugs available.

The show is indoors and whilst the front door is left open during the show, its otherwise not a well-ventilated space.

Lighting in the performance area is fairly dim; the back part of the venue and the area around the pool table are more brightly lit. No strobes or fast flashing lights (>5Hz) will be used.
