Live Review: Timothy Nelson & the Infidels + Simone & Girlfunkle + 6s & 7s + The Sun Orchestra - The Rosemount Hotel, Perth (25.6.11)

On the 26th June, Timothy Nelson and his posse of Infidels invited a few mates along to share in the launch of their new EP “I Know this Now”

Starting the night out were the very impressive The Sun Orchestra. Conjouring up a mix of Simon and Garfunkle, James Taylor, with a dash of Paul Kelly and a pinch of CSN, Lee Jones and Marc Earley put on a wonderful set which really set the tone for the evening.

Next up were one of my favourite bands, . Led by Bridget Turner and Gabrielle Lammers are this wonderfully eclectic mix of harmonies and up beat, full of smiles, off the wall folksy pop. Incredible sound that just has to be experienced live, you really are missing out if you haven’t experienced these guys live yet.

3rd cab off the rank were 6’s and 7’s with their full, lush, melodic sounding brand of music. Having a brass section gives the music this wonderful edge and borders on a total wall of sound. Definitely a crowd favourite as they had the crowd up and dancing.

Without a doubt, most people had come to see Timothy Nelson and the Infidels and they made sure the audience went home with more than their money’s worth.

With their distinctive brand countrified pop/rock Mr Nelson and the band filled the cavernous Rosemount Hotel with some of the best music to be heard there in a long time. Playing with passion and energy they cemented their fanbase and added a fair number of new fans as well. Luke Dux is always worth the price of admission and his virtuoso guitar playing was in fine form this night.

All in all a brilliant night of music and an impressive way to launch an EP. Well worth a listen
