Boney cancels the Boney, Magic Mountain Saloon and Westwood Place Laneway party, planned as part of the Live Music Safari tomorrow.
The venue announced it made the difficult decision to consolidate the event into Boney and not run an external stage in Westwood Place following a spate of sound complaints from neighbouring buildings.
"Boney management do not feel confident that we can operate the event without exacerbating these issues. Our first priority is to address any noise issues with our neighbours to ensure that Boney is able to run great parties with great sound well in to the future.
"Instead of the laneway event Boney will be operating with a line-up of some of our favourite local DJs including Upstairs Nic Hamilton & This Thing artists, Dylan Michel, Kane Ikin & Coup D'etat will be examining the synchronicity between the contemporary creation of music and video.
"Sounds and visuals are manufactured, found, re-filmed, blurred, slowed-down, sped-up, spliced and reconstructed. Dylan Michél (aka Wooshie, This Thing founder) will be performing his recent hybrid textural / footwork mutations, Kane Ikin, a frequent collaborator of Hamilton's will bring his own brand of after hours anti-club constructions whilst Coup D'etat ,(the new collaborative project from Kane Ikin & Harvey Sutherland), will weave static, synth drones and processed percussion. Their machine-heavy live show offers a glimpse into mutual influences and inspirations; part-Maurizio, part-Moroder.
"Head on downstairs at Boney and catch microwave synth-star and Eglo Records signee, Versaj (aka Kirkis), playing some heartfelt boogie jams to Silentjay, the real fly guy you saw supporting Flying Lotus not long ago – and the two of them both fist-bumping RBMA graduate and funk chief Julien Love, as he serenades the room with delicious Latin jams.
