FITZ RITZ: FOGGY NOTION + BITUMEN + TB RIDGE AS THE DIRECTOR

  • The Old Bar 74-76 Johnston Street Fitzroy, VIC, 3065 Australia (map)

Welcome to the time machine. Sixties, nineties, two-thousand and twenties, it's all here. We begin with rock n roll solo act TB Ridge as Director, journeying into guitar soaked rock n roll. Follow this with post-punk nineties dreamboats Bitumen and contemporary cowboys Foggy Notion. Live in the now.

Foggy Notion
A unique group known for driving rhythms, high energy live shows, blunt lyricism and country swagger. A rollicking combination of harmonica, slide guitar captivating vocals, Foggy Notion sways freely between alt-country and 60s garage rock with loads of ramshackle charm tying it all together. Tap yer boots and nod yer akubra to this!


Bitumen
Industrial post-punk with sugar-soaked vocals that are reminiscent of a 90s aesthetic. The driving, metallic barrage of Bitumen’s signature sound presents dramatic synth and layered guitar and vocals. This is post-punk that's shiny, bright and direct – a little Primal Scream and a bunch of metal.


TB Ridge as Director
Rock n Roll, but not as you know it. Add drum machine, synth, strings, a vocoder, GarageBand and an ipad and you might get close to the loops and layers of TB Ridge as Director; Tom Ridgewells new rock moniker. The first EP 'Rock n Roll heart' references a Lou Reed lyric, and there is more than a nod to the guitar sound of sixties counterculture. The strumming of a subculture.
