Fanning Dempsey National Park @ Venue 114
What: Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey are two of the most revered Australian artists of the last 30 years.
Together they form Fanning Dempsey National Park, releasing their highly-acclaimed debut album “The Deluge” last year.
Fanning Dempsey National Park marks new terrain for both artists, “We agreed straight away there’s no point doing something together if it’s going to be what people think it’s going to be,” says Paul. “It’s not the two of us with acoustic guitars singing campfire songs.”
They’ve crafted a bold sound, exemplified by lead single ‘Disconnect’ combining ethereal synths, robotic pulses, thwacking drums, and stabbing sax. Second single and title track “The Deluge” emerged from Fanning’s experiment with monochromatic rhythm and vocal melody, coloured by Dempsey’s wild spasms of treated guitar and synth.
Where: Venue 114, Bokarina
When: May 23
