Crumb (USA)

  • Estonian House
  • Wednesday 8 March, 2023
  • $50 – $60 + BF

Brooklyn rock band Crumb will headline an epic night at Brunswick’s Estonian House next March. The band had the kind of fabled uprising that most bands only dream of; an organic mass-obsession with their soulful psych-pop propelled them into the consciousness of the international music industry and the biggest stages in the world. Now they make their maiden voyage to Australia to soak in the remnants of our summer.

Prodigious Tuareg guitarist and songwriter Mdou Moctar fits the BMF bill perfectly, with an electric performance that boldly reforges contemporary Saharan music by melding Eddie Van Halen pyrotechnics,  Hendrix inspired shredding, and poetic meditations on love, religion, women’s rights, inequality and Western Africa’s exploitation at the hands of colonial powers.
