EXCLUSIVE SUNDAY ARVO SESSION!
Direct from his sold-out show at the Sydney Opera House, the artist, composer, and producer Steve Balbi will grace the stage at The Pig & Whistle on the Mornington Peninsula – for the first time ever – on Sunday the 2nd of March 2025 | 3pm – 5pm.
Don’t miss the chance to witness Balbi’s celestial sensibility live, featuring an intimate set of songs ‘n’ stories drawn from his eclectic catalogue, which includes Noiseworks, Electric Hippies, Mi-Sex, and more.
BALBI BESPEAKS BOWIE ‘N’ LENNON, EXPLORING THE GRIT ‘N’ GROOVE OF RADIOHEAD.
The music of the composer, producer, and founding member of Noiseworks and Electric Hippies – Steve Balbi – mines a kaleidoscope of life at the margins. Coalescing melody, sophistication, and soul, Balbi bespeaks Bowie and Lennon, exploring the diversity, refinement, and the dirty rotten groove of Radiohead.
Balbi’s studio credits include Andrew Farris (INXS), Christine Anu, Glenn Shorrock, and Jenny Morris, among numerous others. Of course, he created vocal arrangements and played acoustic guitar on David Bowie’s Hours, with producer Marius de Vries (Madonna, Björk, et al.), and for the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge as well.
Renowned for his captivating live performances, Steve Balbi appears at The Pig & Whistle to commemorate the release of his fourth studio album – Breakdown. Beautiful but distorted, daunting but heavenly, Balbi bends every genre with this new body of work and intimate show.
Balbi’s debut solo LP Black Rainbow (2013) and its surreal reprise Rainbow Black (2016) provided a musical departure, before I Think I Know For Sure (2022) posited us back to the present. Breakdown (2024) is an impossibly romantic journey, enlightening and evocative yet melancholic and intoxicating.
Don’t miss the chance to witness Steve Balbi live ‘n’ eclectic at The Shed – The Pig & Whistle – on Sunday the 2nd of March 2025, with very special guests | 3pm – 5pm.
