Dragonfru?t + Imogen Cygler + Bike Thief

  • The Vanguard 42 King Street Newtown, NSW, 2042 Australia (map)

Respected for her multi-disciplinary compositional work for actors, playwrights, musicians, filmmakers and more, Imogen Cygler is a contemporary composer, performer and producer based in Melbourne. In 2023, in addition to her debut record, ‘Sometimes Strangers’, she released a collaborative EP with Robbie Divine, titled ‘Yoga’, as well as ‘Night Lamp’, from a new project with Theo Carbo called My Liege. Her debut album, 'Sometimes Strangers' cements Cygler as a singular, progressive voice in the Australian alternative-music scene. This album is a telescope into a planetarium of Cygler’s own. Decorous and imaginative, Cygler proffers a new frontier for conceptually-driven music that is both playful and profound. 

Dragonfru?t is the brainchild of musicians Theo Carbo and Robbie Divine. Balancing mischief and devotion, the band channels the deep histories of sacred music and pop experimentation, warping them into something wild, ecstatic, and explosively modern. 

Sydney’s cult heroes Bike Thief extract sharp textures and ethereal drones out of a unique range of instruments and analogue tools – the fresh combination of keyboards, samplers, double bass played with drumsticks, drums, and percussion all culminate in an exuberant, redemptive set of infectious dance floor heaters. Felix Bornholdt, Jacques Emery and Alexander Inman-Hislop - 3 celebrated voices on the Australian music scene - will bear you from slow meditative pulses to high-octane rhythmic hockets, breakbeats and jungle, juke and techno inspired tracks.
