FANS of quality independent music can look forward to the first live performance of bountiful local songwriter Shann Lions\u2019 latest solo endeavour.<\/p>\n
Set for Saturday, 18 February, his new creative effort will include a visual component not unlike \u201cDavid Byrne (Talking Heads) directing a live show, with elements of the X-Files.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMystic Park is my new project,\u201d Lions said. \u201cTaking nothing away from anything else I\u2019m doing, but as I create different things, they each need their own identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am merely a conduit to the manifestation of whatever form the art takes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The show takes place just a few days after the launch of Mystic Park\u2019s debut single, This City, which lands on 9 February, and before the release of a full album on 18 May.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis City might be written about Bendigo but that\u2019s up to the listener to work that out,\u201d Lions said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to be forthcoming and give away every element of the art.<\/p>\n
\u201cMystic Park is actually the story of my life over a six-month period but people can listen once it\u2019s out and make their own interpretations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve written all the songs, co-produced and co-played all the instruments minus drums, pedal steel, and double bass on the record.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s different and I think This City is very much telling of the record as a whole too.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome and see the live show and things will make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Catch Mystic Park at the Golden Vine Hotel on Saturday, 18 February, supporting The Bridesmaid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
