The next event in the SOUNDS ON THE TERRACE series at MCA is RAT!hammock and Gaspar Sanz on Wednesday, 6 June, 2018 6:30 — 8:30pm.
Experience the magic of a balmy night on Circular Quay from the prime vantage point of the MCA Sculpture Terrace. Sit back and relax with live music by different performers each month as you sip and nibble from the MCA Cafe’s seasonal menu. Killer views of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House also included.
RAT!hammock Somewhere between the lo-fi bedroom pop of Alex G and the classic 90s sound of Pavement, lies Melbourne four-piece RAT!hammock. Unassuming but delightfully weird, RAT!hammock mine much traversed indie-rock terrain, but prove that there are still many diamonds to be found in the rough. Comprised of guitarist & vocalist Jackson Phelan, bass player Michael Cooper, Tom Dowling on guitar and Jack Nicholson on drums, the band first formed in early 2017 and have been honing their sound ever since. The band have quickly carved their name into Melbourne’s notoriously tough-to-crack music scene. Their irresistible single ‘Love You Til I Die’, released in September 2017 and taken from their debut EP, landed plays on triple j, Triple R and PBS FM.
RAT!hammock [Facebook] will play at Museum of Contemporary Arts [Facebook] as part of its free Sounds on the Terrace series. [Facebook Event]
