Description
An all-star cast gather to perform one of the most iconic albums ever made, Big Star’s third album, Sister Lovers.
Tennessee-born power-pop and rock band Big Star’s masterpiece of a third album (recorded in 1974, released in 1978 as Third and later as Sister Lovers) is revered by music critics as one of the most influential records ever produced.
At Sydney Festival 2014, an all-star line-up will perform the seminal record, which had never been performed live until 2010 when only remaining founding member Jody Stephens, R.E.M’s Mike Mills, The dB’s Chris Stamey and Mitch Easter (Let’s Active) unearthed the original scores and finally brought them to life.
The Enmore Theatre will channel the best of the 70s this January when Stephens, Mills and Stamey are joined by The Posies’ Ken Stringfellow, a local 12-pce ensemble of strings and brass, and guest vocalists Skylar Gudasz, Brett Harris and Kurt Vile revive this legendary record.
New acts confirmed on the exciting Big Star’s Third line up are Cat Power, Edwyn Collins, Tim Rogers (You Am I), Kim Salmon (The Scientists) and Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus) strongly representing the US, Scottish and Australian music scenes heavily influenced by Big Star.
