Vivid Sydney 2015: Modulations Adds Grace Jones to the Bill

Vivid Sydney 2015: Modulations Adds Grace Jones to the Bill (Photo: Kristian Sibast)


Veteran music and fashion icon, Grace Jones, heads the line-up for Modulations, doing much to redress the lack of female talent on the wider Vivid program.



Modulations, which is staged at Carriageworks from May 31 to June 7, comes under the Vivid umbrella.



"Her ideas around art, music, creativity and light mean she fits the DNA of Modulations," said its creative director, Stephen Pavlovic.



"She has a strong history and she's a strong woman too, and there has been a lack of them in the Vivid program so the opportunity to work with her was a no-brainer.



"Her live sets are duly renowned as nothing short of incredible, moving from disco to funk, from pop to punk, all presented within a visual spectacular as stunning as the musical artistry.



"You can expect lasers, a lot of costume changes and a thumping show with a great band."



Jones was last in Sydney in 2011. She headlined the Sydney Festival bill in 2009 and is now 66.



The fashionable pairing of music and food is again given an offbeat twist at Modulations, with the Italo Dining and Disco Club, which will be held on each day of the festival.



It features music from veteran Italian club DJ Beppe Loda, who pioneered a sound known as "cosmic Afro". Several top Sydney restaurants will cater, including Icebergs Dining Room & Bar, Da Orazio Pizza + Porchetta, Fratelli Paradiso and 10 William Street.



The other previously announced highlights include jazz legend, saxophonist Pharoah Sanders (June 5-6) and Bill Drummond (June 6) of provocative English 1980s pop group the KLF.



Grace Jones plays on May 31 and June 1 at Carriageworks and Modulations runs from May 31 to June 7. For more information go to vividsydney.com and to book tickets visit carriageworks.com.au

About the Backstreet Boys:



The Backstreet Boys (sometimes referred to as BSB) are an American vocal group, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The group consists of A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell.



The group rose to fame with their debut international album, Backstreet Boys (1996). In the following year they released their second international album Backstreet's Back (1997), and their U.S. debut album which continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their third studio album Millennium (1999) and its follow-up album, Black & Blue (2000).



After a two-year hiatus, they regrouped and released a comeback album Never Gone (2005). After the conclusion of the Never Gone Tour in 2006, Richardson left the group to pursue other interests. The group then released two albums as a quartet: Unbreakable (2007) and This Is Us (2009).



In 2012, the group announced that Richardson had rejoined them permanently. In the following year they celebrated their 20th anniversary and released their first independent album, In a World Like This (2013). The group also released their first documentary movie, titled Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of in January 2015.



The Backstreet Boys have sold over 130 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling boy band in history, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They are the first group since Sade to have their first nine albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and the only boy band to do so. They also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 22, 2013.

The Official Blues Brother's Review Ipswich

A reverent replication of the musical, comedic and cinematic legends - The Blue Brothers'

 
The Official Blues Brother's Review Ipswich


The Blues Brothers are what can only be described as the stuff of
musical, comedic and cinematic legend. They have become an inextricable
thread woven into the fabric of our culture and the images of Jake and
Elwood are universally and instantaneously recognisable throughout this,
and quite possibly, other solar systems.



Featuring Wayne Catania as Jake and Kieron Lafferty as Elwood, The Official Blues Brothers™ Revue and
their eight‐piece intercontinental rhythm and blues revue band pay
homage to the humour, music and mayhem of the Blues Brothers and to
Chicago’s rich musical history of blues, gospel and soul music.



Produced
by Dan Aykroyd, Judith Belushi and original Blues Brothers musical director Paul Shaffer, The Official Blues Brothers™ Revue features all the Blues Brothers classics including Soul Man, Rubber Biscuit, Sweet Home Chicago, Rawhide and Gimme Some Lovin’ among many others.
