DET NOPSUS - a new quintet led by Daniel Thorne
Mon 14 Dec 2009 @ 8:00pm
Admission Members $10 Student members $5 Non-members $15
Perth's newest quintet take inspiration from experimental rocker Dave Longstreth's re-interpretation of the Black Flag album Damaged.
Det Nopsus' programme of re compositions includes the music from the classic Beach Boys album, Pet Sounds, alongside their own original compositions.
Drawing on a range of influences, this exciting new quintet takes the rhythmic drive of groups such as Kneebody and the Claudia Quintet, paired with the textural and harmonic sensibilities of Nico Muhly and Ben Frost, and mixes them together with all the energy and pretentiousness of an indie rock band.
Featuring some of Perth's freshest young jazz talent, Det Nopsus promises to deliver a night of electrifying original music.
Det Nopsus comprises: Daniel Thorne (saxophone), Ricki Malet (trumpet), Chris Foster (piano and keyboards), Nick Abbey (bass) and Ben Falle (drums).
