Newcastle Fringe Festival 2021
Newcastle premier post punk bands from the early 1980s are to play.
Red Orchestra are back! With great songwriting, electro tech and a northern soul feel, perfected in Newcastle in the 1980s. Featuring Chris Cooper on electric guitar and Kaz Davies on vocals, you will soar into the ethereal, discover new melodies, new rhythms and a deep sense of life through original lyrics that not only reflect our human condition, they will get you up dancing or wiggling in your chair whatever the covid may be !!!
Red Orchestra played in a time of political and social upheaval, a lot of stuff was going down in youth culture. 24% youth unemployment in the working class town of Newcastle NSW. Red Orchestras songs, gritty songs, reflected the social and physical cultural landscape of its time. Well known for our music and representing our community during the 1982, Social Security shutdown and high youth unemployment.
piss to EME Seminal ‘Indie Punk Poets’ piss to EME stole their name from graffiti on the dunny wall at BHP steel works in Newcastle. Their music is in a genre of its own; a less-is-more eclectic aesthetic with a narrative of punk poetry and twisted humour for commenting on politics, relationships, social issues and suburban life experiences. Hits including ‘Chook in the Fridge’, ‘Plectrum’, and ‘Pub Brat’ with crowd faves ‘I Hate You’ and ‘Geriatric Stomp’, are as comfy as thongs between ya toes in a bindi patch.
Kaz Davies, is on vocals for Red Orchestra. She is a mean guitar player vocalist in her own right. On Saturday 20th of March, Kaz Davies will play the Fringe Family Day at the Newcastle Train Station at 10 am. Audience participation is a must.
