Love Is My Velocity

Move aside Dorsogna, Love Is My Velocity is donning a butcher’s apron and a classy hairnet in order to present The Smallgoods -  not an array of meats but an awesome Melbourne folk pop group. The show happens at The Velvet Lounge in Mt Lawley on Thursday 19th February 2009, with Benjamin Golby & Bridget Turner, and Nat Carson in support.

This marks The Smallgoods’ first jaunt to Perth, playing in a stripped down three piece format, so we’re throwing them a welcome shindig. Also deserving of warm greetings is Perth’s prodigal son Benjamin Golby (from New Rules for Boats) who is playing his first show since his return from abroad, with a little help from Bridget Turner (from Boys Boys Boys). Nat Carson (from Smallgoods’ labelmates The Bank Holidays) also joins the welcoming committee to kick off the proceedings with a cracking solo set. All in all, it’s a veritable continental roll worth of meaty treats.

The Smallgoods’ music wanders between jaunty folk, spacious epics, dark ballads and gentle psychedelia. Standout proponents of intelligent harmony laden pop music, The Smallgoods bring offerings from Down on the Farm, their third and most ambitious album to date. Released on Melbourne label Lost and Lonesome Records, this album brings the band back to their country roots in the Victorian coastal town of Port Fairy, where they all grew up together.

Did we mention that entry is a mere $7…
