Direct from his sold-out show at the Sydney Opera House, the artist, composer, and producer Steve Balbi appears at the Avoca Beach Theatre for the first time on Australia Day Eve. Don’t miss the chance to witness the chameleon transcend his unique, celestial sensibility live.
The music of Steve Balbi – the founding member of Noiseworks and Electric Hippies, and Mi-Sex frontman – mines a kaleidoscope of life at the margins. Coalescing melody, sophistication, and soul, Balbi bespeaks Bowie and Lennon, meanwhile exploring the heterogeneity, refinement, and dirty rotten groove of Radiohead.
Balbi’s studio credits include Andrew Farris (INXS), Christine Anu, Glenn Shorrock, among others, which elucidates his artistry and diversity; also creating vocal arrangements for David Bowie’s Hours, with producer Marius de Vries (Madonna, Björk), and for the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge.
Renowned for his captivating live performances, Steve Balbi comes to Avoca following the release of his fourth studio album – Breakdown. Beautiful but distorted, daunting but heavenly, Balbi bends every genre with this new masterpiece and show.
