Sabbatical presents: Justice Yeldham

Globe-trotting glass eater Lucas Abela has made a career out of exploring the extreme side of sound. First it was with turntables attached to saw horses with sewing machine motors, briefly Freddy Krugger-styled record needle gloves, then it was a contact mic'd trampoline. For the last few years, under the guise of Justice Yeldham, it's been glass.

Starting each performance with a large sheet of glass, a contact mic and an array of effect pedals. Performances last as long as the glass can withstand the pressure of Mr Abela's face.

Sabbatical is proud to present this rare Justice Yeldham performance as Mr Abela stops over in Melbourne on his way to who knows where.

KIPL custodians and all-round excellent gents Wife will kick off proceedings, followed by the interminable noise assault of Fucked. Offering a welcome respite, Miles Brown & Shags Chamberlain will cleanse the aural palette with their theremin and synth explorations.

Finally, Justice Yeldham will perform on a couch. Seriously, that was his only rider request - a couch to perform on.

It's an early start for an early end. It is a Monday night after all.

Sababtical presents: Aux Assembly

For one night only Sabbatical is proud to present the welcome return of Aux Assembly. It has been almost a year since the last performance by the duo - a pairing of Elise Bishop and Dimitra Bucolo - one of the first and most popular artists to be released on Sabbatical.

The show is the fortuitous result of Elise briefly returning to Australia coinciding with significant progress in Dimitra's recovery, which was ably assisted by contributions from the recent benefit show at the Corner. Seeing the group back in action is a truly exciting prospect.

The inviting surrounds and friendly folk of KIPL will play host to event that includes a range of local noise makers and one Kiwi guest.

Last month's Nomex show we put on was one of the finest we've had the pleasure of being involved in. Every set was the best we've seen from each of the artists involved and our hats go off to them all. Many thanks to all who performed and to the folk at KIPL, who have continually supported our efforts here at Sabbatical.
