Audible Edge 2024 – Program Launch Party w/ Group Therapy & Sookie

Join us on Wednesday March 13 from 6pm at Astral Weeks for a drink to celebrate the return of the festival and be the first to see the program in full. 

The night features contributions from two projects which carry Audible Edge’s spirit of contrast, play and improvisation.

Audible Edge’s very own web designer and oddball experimentalist Sookie will present one of their fabled DJ sets between 6-9pm. Weaving vinyl, lo-fi field recordings and Youtube video samples together the vibe is joyfully intimate and impeccably strange.

At 7pm, Avant-jazz quartet Group Therapy, featuring Djuna Lee (bass), Jessica Carlton (trumpet), Simon Charles (saxophones) and Pete Evans (drums), will play a live set of driving and rhythmic improvised music. 

There might be other silly antics, maybe a brief speech or two. Festival curators Annika Moses & Josten Myburgh may share some strange items from their record collections later into the night.

Printed programs will be there in abundance and maybe some other surprises. Astral Weeks’ wine list is really good — and be sure to take a punt on the in-house curated cocktails.

Entry is free, but we encourage you to donate generously to the Audible Edge fundraiser.

Audible Edge is a festival of exploratory music presented by Tone List. It’s geared towards exploring the marginal, experimental, and not-normal. It happens yearly in Boorloo and Walyalup, on Whadjuk Noongar land. In 2024, it begins at sunrise on April 26, and ends at moonrise on April 28.

Audible Edge is proudly supported by the Western Australian government through the Department of Local Government, Sports and Cultural Industries, and the Australian Cultural Fund.

We will reveal our full list of festival partners at the program announcement.

Tone List is a Boorloo-based label for exploratory music, based on Whadjuk Noongar boodja. We acknowledge boodja and pay respects to custodians and elders past, present & emerging.
