Eddie’s all light and shade
LOCAL singer-songwriter Eddie Skiba is celebrating the launch of his new album Alternate Reality headlining the Art Sounds at the Court House Gallery on Friday.
Known for his unique brand of indie rock, local muso Eddie Skiba is back with his latest album Alternate Reality, a 10-track journey of light and shade full of well-crafted tracks, hook-laden melodies and driving sounds to treat your ears to.
This album comes to add to Mr Skiba’s previous highly-acclaimed releases like ‘Chasing Rainbows’, ‘Bullet De Bloom’, ‘Dig It’ and ‘Blend on the Border’.
To commemorate the launch of his new album earlier in May, he’ll be headlining the popular Court House Gallery Art Sounds, the curated, free, live music program under the stars on the lawn of the gallery, alongside bands Driftwood and Whiskey on Friday from 5pm to 8pm.
Inspired by bands like Midnight Oil, Eskimo Joe, The Killers, The Cure, Powderfinger, The Kooks, Coldplay and Muse, Mr Skiba’s lyrics are an amalgam of thoughtful, personal, social and political imagery that will take listeners on an interesting and emotional journey, always with an indie rock charm.
Mr Skiba has earned himself a stellar reputation as a songwriter and live performer exuding a natural chemistry and sincere presence with his five-piece band, so you won’t want to miss this rock show that exudes local talent.
He’ll also be accompanied by locals Driftwood, who’ll bring their experimental beats, trip hop and electro pop sound to the Art Sounds stage, led by the powerhouse vocals of Phoebe Jacobs and the innovative production of Michael Godde.
Driftwood will add a different sound to the night with their intricate mix of live drums, guitar, keys and deep bass that crafts hypnotic soundscapes that will keep listeners on cloud nine.
On the other hand Whiskey will continue with its honest rock and gritty and soulful sounds that will make for a fun night of rock and roll and talent to spare.
