Closing Weekend at The Ski Club: Promises & Wild Beasts
Mama Kin Spender
Supported by Yirrmal
Promises & Wild Beasts is a map of buried feelings, untended fires and an aching quest for redemption.
Mama Kin Spender lead you through a story of transformation, traced through a cycle of songs drawn from their recent ARIA-nominated concept album Promises. Backed by a vocal section, live sound design and a Top End choir, they conjure the wild tidal nature of human desire, charting the friction between love’s profound, shape-shifting force and the promises we make to try contain it. Love is the bedrock and the beast that these naïve lovers seek to domesticate.
Fierce, intimate and unflinching, Mama Kin Spender brings their trademark percussive fire, searing harmonies and captivating soul-stirring presence to Promises & Wild Beasts.
This show is a rally cry to the heart – and who better to stoke the musical fires and get the night started right than Yolŋu singer–songwriter Yirrmal. He brings his stunning voice for a powerful and uplifting solo support set that touches the soul.
