7:30pm doors
Expected capacity: 125 (45%)
ORA COGAN 23.08
Ora Cogan’s music is alchemical: part instinct, part ritual, and always conjured from the edges where life feels sharpest. With Hard Hearted Woman, she mixes haunted folk, psych rock, and a shadowy strain of country, building a realm where catharsis feels lush, mysterious and vital. Shaken by the tenor of modern life, Cogan pulled in a circle of kindred musicians and made a record shaped by someone who has looked into the abyss and decided, again and again, to choose curiosity.
A work of devotion to mystery, to community, and to the strange power of making art in a fractured world, Hard Hearted Woman is a record about hardness and resilience; it’s the shell we grow so our most human, breakable selves can survive. Hard Hearted Woman is for anyone trying to stay open, even when the world makes that feel impossible
Support comes from Elaine Malone – a psych-rock artist & multi-instrumentalist blending elements of shoegaze, folk, and experimental soundscapes.
FFO: Mazzy Star, Chelsea Wolfe
7:30pm doors
Expected capacity: 100 (36%)
WAY DYNAMIC 28.08
Future Yard are excited to welcome Way Dynamic, the solo project of Melbourne’s Dylan Young.
Way Dynamic will soon release internationally Massive Shoe – a third album that’s playful and understated, luminous and textured.
Massive Shoe is minimalist folk-pop, art rock and baroque pop, produced and largely played by Young, who moonlights in Melbourne’s beloved Cool Sounds and Good Morning and has played drums with Snowy Band and Kankawa Nagarra.
It’s tempting to only compare these timeless songs to those of yesteryear, but there’s a sensibility, a turn of phrase, that feels deeply contemporary: it’s telling that Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield described “Miffed It” as her “favourite song in a VERY long time”, and Katie and MJ Lenderman have both taken Way Dynamic on tour. At the same time, Sir Elton John said that he “just cannot stop listening” to “Ibiza”.
Young’s songs don’t shy away from sentiment, or equally from silliness: on any given song he might evoke a cruisy trip through hell or earnestly lament a miscommunication. Whether the journey is to space or along the Seine, we’re very much along for the ride
Support comes from Snowy a Melbourne music devotee / addict. Most of his time is spent finishing his latest project while simultaneously dreaming about the next. When not leading his band in their folk-infused meltdowns Snowy is usually busy following another side-quest, reaching for something new.
FFO: Sylvie, Dutch Interior, Cameron Winter, Frog, Waxahatchee
7:30pm doors
Expected capacity: 200 (71%)
