Sometimes you just need to celebrate an achievement. In the case of Rubber Records, an indie label that grew out of a bedroom on Melbourne in 1989 that went on to release over 250 titles in its 25 year history, we decided that the celebration should take form in some specially curated shows that feature rare performances by some of the acts that Rubber Records has played host to over its life span.
Says founder David Vodicka – “I’ve always preferred being in the background and just releasing records by artists that I love working with. This series of shows is just as much a celebration of being around a long time and sticking with those artists, as it is an excuse to try and get some of them to play again!”
Over the month of December there will be the opportunity to see one-off shows by a range of artists from the label, centered around a three-week Wednesday night residency at the Northcote Social Club, for which tickets go on sale from www.northcotesocialclub.com at 9am, Monday October 20th.
Wednesday 17th December – Northcote Social Club
Living in exile in Scotland for the last two years, Hamish Cowan returns for an extremely rare Cordrazine performance in an intimate acoustic mode to perform songs from From Here to Wherever, with Hamish promising a special selection of his favourite covers. Support comes from The Genes, who released LP Deep In The Heart of The Rat Race through Rubber last year, their first since 1996’s Buy A Guitar. This will be their first Melbourne show in over a decade. Special guests to be announced.
