About this concert
The original introspective collective The Gin Club are strapping on the chaps and heading out for a run of shows this July. Formed in Brisbane in the early noughts by a group of friends at an open mic night, the group has since gone on to release five full length albums featuring their blend of folk-rock, alt-country and indie. With songwriting and singing duties shared among all ten members of their ever-expanding roster, they’ve toured extensively throughout Australia as well as to NZ and the USA. The tour will happily coincide with the 20th anniversary of the 2005 release of the group’s sophomore album Fear of the Sea which contained much loved singles “Gabriel” and “Drugflowers”.

The Gin Club Biography
Forming in Brisbane in 2003, The Gin Club casually coagulated around a regular open mic night held in a Brisbane pub. Originally based on a fairly elastic lineup, the band has stabilized but it is still a large ensemble with seven songwriters. Winning one day of recording time through a cancer fundraiser at Brisbane club The Troubadour enabled The Gin Club to record their first album. Releasing the album through a label (Plus One) associated with one of Brisbane's main alternative record stores gave the band a reason to tour nationally, where they began building a reputation for their intense live shows.
With an eclectic mix of traditional folk, blues and country styles, the band members constantly swap instruments that include accordion, piano, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, harmonica, cello, saxophone, banjo, mandolin, organ and keyboards. Originally the band's influences were obvious references to artists such as The Band, Bob Dylan, Crowded House, and Neil Young. However with the release of their album, Junk in March 2008, the band's sound has broadened to acknowledge classic r&b arrangements from artists like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke.
Touring extensively throughout Australia with local acts including Youth Group, Tim Rogers, The Red Sun Band, The Gin Club has supported international artists Papa M, Iron & Wine, Lambchop, Tony Joe White, Kevin Montgomery, Laura Veirs, and Australian artists Paul Kelly, You Am I, Pete Murray, Andrew Morris and various others.
