Bad PhotoGraphy
This will be Bad photography’s 5th gig together after their debut album launch, Burst, in February. They are excited to continue playing together, exploring new sounds and textures.
Alex tunes drums low, blows and bows cymbals. Jim avoids tuning Sax; hits, sings, and scrapes it. Uma stretches her vocally trumpeting like a rubber band that can spring back in a nanosecond. Probably you'd say they ain't too sure what they're doing together, and they kinda hope it stays that way, cause they are enjoying the ride.
Green/Evans/Kim
Jess Green (AKA Pheno) is an Australian guitarist, and vocalist. In her twenty-year career she has established herself as a genre-defying performer and composer. She has performed with jazz & blues luminaries including The catholics, Jim Conway and Renee Geyer, contemporary artists Laura Jean, Katie Noonan and Georgia Mooney and supported international artists including Joan as Policewoman (US) and The New Pornographers (CAN). Jess collaborates as an improviser across jazz, new music and contemporary classical, and has been commissioned as a composer for Canberra International Jazz Festival, The Australian Art Orchestra and Patricia Piccinini.
Sandy Evans is an Internationally renowned composer and saxophonist with a passion in improvisation and new music. Evans has been a pillar in Australian music and an inspiration for over 40 years.
"... this saxophonist surely ranks as one of the best contemporary jazz composers/musicians anywhere." - Ian Patterson, allaboutjazz.com
Chloe Kim constantly performs alongside legendary musicians, and her strength as an artist also emanates in the setting of solo drum set performances.
Since 2018, Chloe has performed solo at the Sydney Opera House, Powerhouse Museum, Art Gallery of New South Wales, and Museum of Old and New Art. So far in 2023, she performed a live response to Do Ho Suh's Staircase-III installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art for Sydney Festival and composed/performed a score in the forthcoming documentary The Independents about the 2022 Australian Federal Election. In February, Chloe performed 100 hours of solo drumming across the 10 days of the MONA FOMA festival in Hobart.
Hope to see you at the gig!
