Alter Boy are not your usual band and there is no other band like it. An alt-pop collective fronted by vocalist, Molly Priest and Auslan performer, Luke Eastman, who bring a new take on musical production and presentation – like a breath of air never breathed before. Not just new light through old windows, but an entity that boldly evokes and exercises accessibility and inclusion, and does so in a way that storms a trail through dream pop, theatrical imagery and avant-garde costuming that recalls the renaissance as much as it does the 21st century work of the likes of Italian director, Romeo Castellucci. And it does so with beautifully open hands that welcome the audience into the experience.Alter Boy release their new single, Life Finds A Way, on Wednesday 3 April. The first of many new songs coming in 2024, Life Finds A Way speaks to the evaporating age of men taking credit for a woman’s work. Chien-Shiung Wu, Sophia Tolstoyer, Elsa Einstein, Willie Mae Thornton - all women throughout history who have stood behind great men, carrying out the tactical and emotional labour which allowed these men to embellish themselves in solitude. These women are now being recognised for their labours and located within the works of legendary artists and scholars. With support from Jocelyn's Baby & Skyuka, this is an Auslan interpreted event
