Beloved Australian supergroup Seeker Lover Keeper, consisting of Sally Seltmann, Sarah Blasko and Holly Throsby, are bringing their soaring vocals and three-part harmonies to unmissable shows in both Bendigo and Anglesea.
The trio were described by Sally Seltmann as having a very “vocal-heavy” sound, with roots deep in 1960s girl groups, predominately from the 1960s girl group The Ronettes. “They [The Ronettes] have this great song called ‘be my baby’ and we’ve always all really liked that style. I guess when we were writing the songs, we just felt like that was the natural way we were making our songs sound, so we just decided to go for that,” Sally reveals.
The trio are no stranger to touring, coming off the back of a number of very successful shows in September and October 2019 showcasing their latest album release ‘Wild Seeds’. “There were big crowds at all the shows, and everyone was all singing along,” Sally recalls fondly. The energy of the trio is infectious, and their upcoming shows are set to be unlike any other that the supergroup have done to date.
The Bendigo and Anglesea shows, in particular, will not be ones to miss out on.
“It’s going to be really great, the Bendigo show, and the Anglesea show… we are doing those ones just as a trio so it will be just me [Sally], Holly and Sarah, with nothing else.
“I’ve always really loved it because the harmonies and the vocals kind of become even more powerful… And it’s a bit more intimate, people can really hear the lyrics and its really fun for us. We really enjoy playing just the three of us.”
Seeker Lover Keeper began as a group of close friends that naturally progressed to performing together as a band, so for Sally, she is just really looking forward to touring with her close friends again: “usually on tour, we laugh so much we just have a really fun time.”
Fans of Seeker Lover Keeper can expect something very special at the Bendigo show, with the band set to perform a cover of a song that they have never performed before. It has also been revealed that the Bendigo and Anglesea shows might be the last show for fans to see Seeker Lover Keeper for a while.
“These are our last shows for a while, so we are coming to the end of the cycle of the wild seeds album, but I’m sure we will be playing shows and doing music again at some point in the future.”
The band is set to make the shows a “last hurrah” for the ‘Wild seeds’ album and should not be missed by Seeker Lover Keeper fans.
Seeker Lover Keeper will perform at Anglesea Memorial Hall in Anglesea on Saturday March 28 & at The Capital in Bendigo on Sunday March 29. To purchase tickets, head to www.seekerloverkeeper.com.au/shows
