REGURGITATOR
After the great shows in Japan, and the unfortunate cancellation of the festival in Beijing… Quan and Ben are back in Brisbane working with Gavin Webber’s dance troupe in West End for their special collaborative dance event entitled ROCK SHOW in Brisbane and Toowoomba in late Nov. They will be performing this as a 3 piece and Gavin has selected a collection of songs that suits the theme of this work including early material they have performed for some time… plus some new tunes will enter the fray.
On the back of this they have also just announced a New Year’s eve appearance at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast with Birds of Tokyo, I Heart Hiroshima and more… see poster below.
GET DANCING!!!
Always ones for experimenting with the formats… Regurgitator will be collaborating with one of Australia’s most progressive and rigorous dance exponents and choreographers Gavin Webber in his live music/dance explosion… ROCK SHOW…
ROCK SHOW: A ground-breaking collaboration between one of Australia’s most exciting creative talents, Gavin Webber, and international rock-electronica band Regurgitator. Rock Show is an assault on the senses—loud, dirty, sexual, and playful—as dance, theatre, and a rock concert merge into a catharsis of explosive movement and thrashing guitars and keyboards. It will showcase the gutsy choreography of Gavin Webber and take the physical vocabulary he developed with Dancenorth to a new level, working with some of the best dancers in the country and for the first time uniting forces with one of Australia’s most important bands…
Rock Show will celebrate its world premiere at the Playhouse, QPAC as part of Q150 – Queensland’s 150th Celebrations 2009…
