Mike Rudd (Spectrum/Ariel) with Tim Gaze (Tamam Shud/Kahvas Jute)

A double bill for the ages! An incredible afternoon awaits as Mike Rudd arrives in town to play an intimate and special 2pm matinee show at Banshees Bar & Art Space, Ipswich. Joining Mike is very special guest and long time associate Tim Gaze.

Mike Rudd, best known for his work with Spectrum and that undeniably classic Australian #1 song ‘I’ll Be Gone’ which became one of the most enduring songs of that era and still heard on the radio today.
Mike has gone on to front metamorphosis of Spectrum in ‘Indelible Murtceps’ and also ‘Ariel’ where they found chart and commercial success again with ‘Jamaican Farewell’.

These days, Mike sees playing 'solo' with George Butrumlis as an opportunity to tackle songs that, for one reason or another, don't get played in the group setting. Outrageous songs like 'Excuse Me Just One Moment' from Murtceps' Warts Up your Nose album and Confessions of a Psychopathic Cowpoke, from Ariel's
'A Strange Fantastic Dream' album, which of course was famously banned from airplay on the album's release.

Opening the evening will be the one and only Tim Gaze who has trailblazed a lifetime of music including time with Tamam Shud during and post the seminal Morning of the Earth era & breakaway band, Kahvas Jute. Tim will take us on a trip re-visiting moments of his journey where he has regularly been referred to as one of Australia’s finest and inspiring guitarists.
These shows are not to be missed.
