Arts Centre Melbourne presents

The Sway Machinery (USA)


February 28, 2012

For those who have seen The Sway Machinery in action, little explanation is needed. The band’s combination of rhythmic power and potent folklore takes no prisoners.

On stage the energy of submerged worlds is torn out into the light of day. And indeed, the historical tradition of Cantorial music, the inspiration for much of the band’s work, is very much a lost world.

The band boasts an unusually accomplished line-up of musicians, featuring guitarist Jeremiah Lockwood formerly of Balkan Beat Box, drummer John Bollinger of Barbez, bass guitarist Nikhil Yerawadekar of Antibalas and the trumpet and tenor sax horn section, Jordan McLean and Stuart Bogie, who have made their unique voices heard with artists ranging from TV on the Radio, to the much loved Broadway production of Fela! This powerful combination of musical personalities yields an unassailable force of excitement.

Don’t miss this one-night-only performance at The Famous Spiegel Season!
