TOPS with SMERZ
Jet Black Cat Music Presents TOPS (CA) and Norwegian duo SMERZ on their debut Aus tour. TOPS (CA) — musicians David Carriere, Jane Penny, Marta Cikojevic, and Riley Fleck —write timeless music that reliably threads immediacy and depth. Bury the Key, their first full-length since 2020 and with new label home Ghostly International, is a captivating reintroduction for the Montréal band: ever refined, undoubtedly masters of their melodic craft yet unafraid of evolving and testing themselves against different, at times darker tones. The album faces feelings once locked away, engaging the give-and-take between happiness, hedonism, and self-destruction. SMERZ is the Norwegian duo of Henriette Motzfeldt and Catharina Stoltenberg, based in Oslo and Copenhagen. The duo released their sophomore album, Big city life, in May this year through Danish label Escho. Using collages to capture moments of everyday life and dreams, Smerz tell stories lived and imagined—of apathy, loneliness and internal monologue, love and friendship. Smerz operates at the intersection of genres, drawing inspiration from compositional techniques in classical music, the experimentation of computer music and the immediacy of pop music, in the palettes of girly existentialism. Show Doors 7pmEl Ranchero back deck and food truck open from 6pm for pre-show eats and cocktails TOPS & SMERZ appearing at Mo's Desert Clubhouse on: SAT 28 FEB // $55+BF until sold out // 18+ Mo's Desert Clubhouse is the Gold Coast's premier destination live music venue in the Burleigh Arts Quarter.El Ranchero Cocktail Garden, located adjacent to Mo's is open for drinks & food before or during the showAll guests are required to show ID on the door
