Tijuana Cartel return for a massive show at Nightquarter, Saturday May 21 with Dubarray and more
Tijuana Cartel are back to Night Quarter on the Sunshine Coast this Saturday 21st May, to celebrate a post-COVID lockdown world, getting back on the road, and touring their latest album ‘Acid Pony.’ This time, they’re putting on one huge show with Dubarray, Moontide and Princess Behaviour along for the ride.
Finding their feet in the 1990s underground venues of the Gold Coast, Tijuana Cartel have honed their live set on some of Australia’s biggest stages dishing up an east meets west wonderland for those seeking sensory overload, euphoria, fat beats and heavy, bass-fuelled electronica.
Tijuana Cartel’s sound is high-energy, guitar-driven, world music for indie kids.
2020 saw the world thrown into an unexpected shutdown. For Tijuana Cartel’s duo of writers – Paul George and Carey O’Sullivan – it meant one thing – recording! Tucked away in their respective studios, the duo sent each other music, occasionally meeting in person with the other band members dropping in, and such – the long-awaited new album was finished.
Although the new release has an obvious feeling of heavy baselines and move your booty beats. There is still a deep current of musicianship and trippy interludes that are sure to take listeners into try other-worldly realms.
The album draws on the years and years of Paul and Carey’s experience in crafting albums and is mixed nicely with percussion by Sheila Finke and various brass instruments added by Joshua Sinclair and Eamon Dilworth.
World electro soul act Dubarray are troubadours of song alchemy when it comes to entertainment through creating a sonic musical bliss. Uplifting, Soulful & Euphoric, Dubarray combine a fresh fusion of boundary bending world music that infuses such styles as trip-hop, funk, reggae, downtempo, drum & bass, house and tribal grooves layered on a bed electronic ambience and organic undertones.
Moontide's multi-ethnic collage of sound includes entrancing tribal soundscapes, percussive layers, synthesizers, field recordings, deeply rooted rhythms and chants. His live sets delve deeply into conceptualized narratives, taking his audience on a transformative, stimulating musical voyage shaped by the different cultures, patterns, sounds and stories that he has absorbed from across the globe.
Princess Behaviour are Lila Swain and Paulina Marron combining a profound knowledge of deep house with layers of vocals from other worlds. They bring exotic, unexpected, and a little bit wild sounds from strangely familiar dreams - creating a space to dance, to imagine, to connect and to escape.
Tickets include an entry pass to NightQuarter (4pm-10pm) with food stallholders, themed bars, more live music, amusement rides and more.
