Jamie Hutchings returns to the intimate confines of the Django Bar for a special homecoming show. Having completed a run of shows through Italy and France throughout July, culminating in his sixth appearance at The Binic Folk Blues Festival in Brittany, Jamie will draw from all corners of his catalogue.With an Infinity Broke album gestating, and Bluebottle Kiss re-issues on the horizon this may be the last opportunity to see a Jamie Hutchings solo performance for some time.
A prolifically creative musician, Hutchings has built a career in the Australian scene that stretches back to the early 1990s.
He first established himself as the cornerstone of noisy indie-rock auteurs Bluebottle Kiss before embarking on a solo career with the release of The Golden Coach in 2002. If that wasn't enough to satiate his musical curiosities, Hutchings also formed the band Infinity Broke, releasing the first of their three albums in 2014 and using the framework of the group to venture even further into angular guitar art rock, with a strong through-line of inventive and repetitive rhythms and percussion.
Earlier in 2023 Hutchings released his most experimental solo album, Making Water, a collage of rhythm and noise, drone and abstraction that explored free jazz, Krautrock and the kind of terrain inhabited by The Necks and late period Talk Talk.
As Hutchings tends to do, he pivoted again stylistically, returning to a more traditional sounding solo album with A New.
"There is much to discover in the Hutchings catalogue but A New is an excellent place to start, with some of his most appealing songcraft. Pack a coat though. The weather might be warm but some storms are also guaranteed."
Noel Mengel, Music Trust
"There is a Jimmy Webb grandeur as expressed through Glen Campbell in the instrumentation and delivery... there is certainly a majestic sixties timbre to the track with its big pounding drums and dramatic delivery, all beehive hairdos and kohl eyeliner."
