“The Wonderful Lives ready to cast a musical spell.
Local musician Tim Mahony will be joined by his other band mates from The Wonderful Lives for a free follow up Blue Mountains performance at Katoomba RSL, 82-86 Lurline St, this Saturday, August 22.
The Wonderful Lives were formed in Sydney, mid 2008 and after putting together a five song demo CD have been out sharing their original music with Sydney audiences and receiving very enthusiastic responses.
Their songs dig deep into the world of alternative folk rock and dark country and feature piano, cello, guitar, drums, bass, accordion, melodica and more.
Described as a sophisticated orchestral frenzy intertwined with bitter sweet interludes, the songs rise and fall breathing life into an otherwise neglected genre.
Influences include Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. Free entry with an 8pm start. For more details contact Katoomba RSL on 4782-2624”
