Wonderful and Frightening: A Tribute to The Fall

  • The Worker's Club 51 Brunswick St Fitzroy, VIC, 3065 Australia (map)

Saturday 5th June at The Workers Club, Fitzroy
$10 at the door
 
“If it’s me and yer granny on bongos it’s The Fall”. So said Mark E Smith, founder and only consistent member of the Manchester post-punk legends he’s fronted since the late seventies. While lacking both Smith and your granny, we have in true Fall fashion assembled a motley group of whoever was available for a night of tribute to music’s most idiosyncratic alcoholic genius/loony. Fell Over (members of Witch Hats/Pets With Pets/Parading), Breaker Morant and YIS (with special guest Sasha from Spitfire Parade/Constant Light) will be playing cuts from classic Fall records such as Dragnet, Grotesque, Hex Enduction Hour, Perverted By Language, This Nation’s Saving Grace, Live At The Witch Trials and more.
 
Fell Over: 10:30
Breaker Morant: 9:40
YIS + Sasha: 8:50
 
Doors: 8:30
 
plus DJ Michael Mulholland playing Fall and Fall related tunes all night
