The Aussie BBQ returns for the third consecutive year to the
Bacardi NH7 Weekender. Some of the most exciting artists in the Australian
music scene today will take the spotlight this November, as audiences get a
chance to catch psych-tinged alt-rockers Cloud Control, anti-folk songstress
Sarah Blasko, garage-rock act Money for Rope and dance deconstructionists
Peking Duk at the Kolkata and Bangalore editions of the Bacardi NH7 Weekender.
Music lovers in Mumbai and Delhi also get to witness all four bands at special
gigs (free entry!) at Blue Frog in Mumbai and Summer House Cafe in Delhi.
Over the last two years, The Aussie BBQ has brought some
phenomenal Australian acts like Karnivool, Jinja Safari, Big Scary and
Spoonbill to India for performances at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender and some
memorable club sets as well. This year too promises some great quality indie
acts from down under.
Only Much Louder CEO Vijay Nair said about the The Aussie
BBQ, "Over the last couple of years, we've seen some phenomenal performances
by Aussie artists at the festival courtesy The Aussie BBQ. The thriving
Australian music scene has produced some incredibly exciting artists who have a
global fanbase that includes legions of fans in India as well. We're proud to
be able to showcase them alongside artists from India and around the world at
the Bacardi NH7 Weekender. They make the happiest festival even happier. "
Cloud Control
Australian indie rockers Cloud Control shot into the global
indie music spotlight with their critically-acclaimed 2013 album Dream Cave.
They exist in a dreamy, organic soundscape that has earned them much praise and
seen them perform alongside the likes of Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend and 2010
Bacardi NH7 Weekender alumni The Magic Numbers.
Sarah Blasko
In her decade-long career Sarah Blasko, a singer-songwriter
hailing from Sydney, Australia, has released four acclaimed solo albums (I
Awake, As Day Follows Night, What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have and The
Overture & The Underscore). Sarah has composed music for film, theatre and
dance, and mesmerised audiences with her stunning live shows across most of
Europe, North America and Australia. Her most recent album tour for I Awake was
her most ambitious, the highlight being two sold out concerts with a 45-piece
orchestra at the iconic Sydney Opera House. Sarah is currently writing her
fifth solo album and this is her first time performing in India.
Money for Rope
Melbourne’s Money For Rope aren’t just your run-of-the-mill
rock band. Having cut their teeth on the live circuit alongside some of
Australia’s edgiest groups, the trio know how to ignite that ferocious energy
which you only get from an A-grade rock and roll show. Fusing garage grittiness
with the rollicking pace of surf rock music, Money For Rope have carved out a
great space for themselves amongst other Australian rock and roll bands who
have dedicated countless hours to fine-tuning their live shows and records.
Peking Duk
Much like The Aston Shuffle who played the Bacardi NH7
Weekender in Pune back in 2012, this electronic duo - made up of Adam Hyde and
Reuben Styles - are rising stars in Australia’s well regarded electronic music
scene. Their track ‘High’ featuring Nicole Millar has exploded, achieving
double platinum status on the ARIA charts and sending their live show ticket
sales into a frenzy.
