The Cardigan Bar Town Hall Session - May 16th, 2014 Double Bill: Desert Blues Cartel & Lovecraft Cash bar: beer/wine/spirits Zambreros Mexican food available Tickets $19 at the bar or online bookings @ cardiganbar $25 on the door Doors open 6.30pm The Cardigan Bar is excited to announce the first of what will be regular Cardigan Bar Town Hall Sessions. Since opening in July last year, the Cardigan Bar has been focused on bringing even greater diversity and momentum to the live music scene in North East Brisbane with the aim of increasing exposure for local artists in addition to bringing bigger acts out to the ‘burbs’. The Cardigan Bar Town Hall Sessions will be held in the heart of Sandgate in the historic Town Hall. Having almost triple the capacity of the Cardigan Bar, these events will invite musicians to play to a much larger crowd than can be squeezed into Sandgate’s favourite lane way bar. The first of these musical showcases will feature Desert Blues Cartel and Sandgates own Lovecraft. Desert Blues Cartel performed at the Cardigan Bar in February this year to a sell-out crowd with many patrons missing out - inspiring the move to annex the Cardigan Bar for bigger acts. At this event the Desert Blues Cartel will be launching their single Ma Cherie from their upcoming 2nd EP. Ma Cherie is a murder ballad aptly set in our seaside village of Sandgate, featuring international burlesque star and guest vocalist Lola the Vamp who sultrily curses her lover to an eternity beneath the waters of Moreton Bay. This powerful ballad was inspired and written on the Shorncliffe Pier. Lovecraft is local to the Sandgate area with an extensive music history, including; the Leftovers, Lovseblur, Riptides and the Pineapples from the Dawn of Time - to mention a few. Their music could be described as a world unto itself, mystical and hypnotic. When Love Craft last performed at the Cardigan Bar, they too attracted a capacity crowd.
