With songs by Portishead, Kate Bush, Shaznay Lewis and more, The Rip is a concert about water's mutability and permanence, its danger and allure.
Drama builds and subsides, colours shift, depth changes; from the sparkling Pure Shores to the hypnotic Song to the Siren, this is a setlist that rides the current out before swimming us back to shore again.
The Rip will be performed in The Neilson at ACO On The Pier by Sydney’s harbourside, a fitting venue for music of rivers, oceans and the places they converge.
