After a year of little to no live shows, Mountains-based muso Gavin Bowles and his band The Distractions, are extra pumped to pla The Baroque Room at Katoomba on Saturday night, March 27.
On the night Bowles will showcase material for his debut album, This Year's Modern, which was unleashed in November 2020 and is now being treated to a limited vinyl release.
Saturday's show will be the band's first in their hometown in 18 months.
"Last year was a strange and trying year, but releasing the album was a personal triumph and we are super excited to play a band show in the Mountains again," said Bowles.
He described the album as fun and upbeat, but one that also takes in the many moods, quandaries and adversities one might face as a young, modern ne'er-do-well. It takes aim at the frivolousness of life in 2020.
Fellow Mountains musos Blue Sherlock and CJ Stranger (with band) will share the stage on the night.
"It's going to be a fun night with some amazing local bands - we've all been locked away and now it's time to party," Bowles said.
