i Hart Angie

Angie Hart and Dave McCormack will be on the road from this week, making their way up the East Coast, hopefully to a venue near you. The shows in intimate venues will be acoustic, with Angie visiting tracks from her debut long player, Grounded Bird, the new single, Pictures of You and also revisiting some songs from her earlier days.

Dave McCormack of Custard fame is also going out in acoustic mode. After 10 years with Custard, 2 albums with the Titanics and 3 albums with The Polaroids, Dave will be performing something old, something borrowed and something new.


Full details of the shows are below. Also, be sure to check out the Defamer’s goofy interview with Angie.

“I loved how its darkness was juxtaposed against a large romantic element – it was really tense yet had a romantic heart. I knew immediately that this was a project my music was truly suited to – not my voice, necessarily, but certainly my musical vision.”

Angie Hart’s beautifully spare and spectral version of The Cure’s Pictures of You carries a heady emotional power. The song has been stripped back to piano, strings, the barest of programming flourishes and Angie’s considered, affecting vocal.

Pictures of You is Angie’s first release since her critically acclaimed debut solo album Grounded Bird.

The Pictures of You TAC campaign emphasises the deep emotional scars that speeding leaves on our community. Ten ordinary Victorian families volunteered to share their hearts and stories for one reason; they didn’t want anyone to endure the pain their families have experienced.
