Saturday Oscar Lush album launch and Georgia Spain
This year Oscar Lush released "Black Dog", a dark alternative country record which heavily reflects on depression, loss, and change.
Following the album's release - feeling burnt out by the process - Lush took a break from performing to focus on his mental health and life outside music.
Vinyl copies of Black Dog (a 100 per cent analogue product) will be available on the night.
Now, he is returning - with Dom Hede (drums) and Matthew Colin (bass), to perform the songs from "Black Dog", as well as new material written since its release.
Joining them on the night will be local musician Georgia Spain and her band. Georgia's poetry is set to folk, country, and dark alternate rock musical styles.
