Related: Kes, Kes Band, Kes Trio.
What: Black Brown Green Grey by Kes Trio.
When: September 18 locally through Mistletone and worldwide through iTunes and mailorder.
Key notes: Kes Band’s latest incarnation as a trio featuring Kes (Karl Scullin), Lehmann B Smith and Julian Patterson. Sixth full-length release by Kes and the follow-up to last year’s all-instrumental Kes Band II, which we described as “reserved and passionate, abrasive and sweet, epic and miniature”. From the presser: “Black Brown Green Grey White is a yin-yang dichotomy, juxtaposing contemplative, melodic beauty and inward-gazing ballads with jerky dischord, banshee yells and whirlwind anti-rock riffs.”
