The wonderful Lucie Thorne has invited us along to play at her album launch. For the uninitiated you can read some industry opinions on Lucie’s new album below…

It will be a beautifully melancholic evening of music so it is most appropriate that the wonderful folks at the CMC will be running a bar to drown those sorrows in (and please, don’t go soft on me… the fact you have to work Monday isn’t the reason you shouldn’t drink - it should be the reason you have to).

It’s going to be wonderful evening. Guaranteed to be more winning than the Raiders and assuredly better the fuck than whatever you’ll find on TV.

Hope to see you there.

As promised – some reviews of Bonfires In Silver City’

*Album Of The Week on Radio National Breakfast 25-29 July 2011

“Bonfires In Silver City reveals a subtlety and craft that eclipses
Thorne’s prior work.”
Martin Jones, Rhythms Magazine, August 2011

“I’ve been listening to three great female artists in the last month;
the first two, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris require little
introduction to most, their bodies of work substantial, their standing
already verging on legendary. The third is a name lesser known,
but her album Bonfires in Silver City is undoubtedly the best of
all three. Lucie Thorne is one of our own, and with this album she
makes a firm statement that she is one of our finest. World-class.”
Chris Peken, Alternative Music Group

“Mitchell fans will sense a resonance of 1976’s Hejira,
for many her masterpiece, in Bonfires In Silver City….
the records are strikingly similar; poetic, introspective works
that have a solidity and wholeness.”
Ian Cuthbertson, The Australian, August 2011
