About this event

Bleak Squad is a Melbourne supergroup built from art-rock royalty: Mick Turner (Dirty Three), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting). Their debut LP Strange Love is a brooding affair—nine songs that trade in noirish moods, organ drones, and slippery basslines, with Turner and Harvey trading vocal duties across arrangements that blur the line between chamber music and rock. A rare chance to see this loose collective of misfits in Adelaide.
