Destined to be one of the great shows of 2025 (or any other year!), The People's Republic is thrilled to announce an exclusive show by one of the world's great underground artists as she returns to Australia for the first time in many years...PLEASE RSVP EARLY AS THIS SHOW WILL FILL UP!!

THE SPACE LADY
with Andy Burns
and your host and DJ for the evening, Jay Katz!

Described as the "interstellar matriarch of outsider music”, The Space Lady is beaming down on Australian soil to perform her ethereal, Casio-driven pop songs in this exclusive Sydney show!

The Space Lady’s story began on the bustling streets of late-70s Boston, where her performances - featuring an accordion and her iconic winged helmet - captivated audiences with otherworldly interpretations of contemporary hits. Following the theft and destruction of her accordion, The Space Lady acquired a Casio keyboard equipped with a phase shifter, drum machine, and headset mic - an event that drastically changed her sound and led to the cosmic, synth-driven style that has inspired and mesmerised generations of listeners and underground artists ever since.
Setting the Casio aside in 2000 for retirement, The Space Lady experienced a renaissance in the early 2010s, following her inclusion on compilations by John Maus, Erol Alkan, and Irwin Chusid's Songs In The Key of Z, as well as features in NME's 101 Albums To Hear Before You Die and The Guardian's 101 Strangest Records on Spotify.
Her legend continues to burn brightly, with recent performances at Mosswood Meltdown in California (where she was given a glowing introduction by John Waters), as well as performances at Desert Daze (US), Valkhof Festival (Netherlands) and Pohoda Festival (Slovakia), sharing stages with the likes of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, The B-52's, Perfume Genius and so forth, as well as a huge solo show at Cafe Oto in London.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see a seminal musical maverick live in concert!

At The Red House, The Space Lady will be supported by the wonderful Andy Burns with your host and guest DJ the equally legendary Jay Katz!
