The Whitlams — Love This City 25 Years
The Whitlams take to the Odeon stage to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the double platinum album, Love This City, and write a new chapter in its storied history.
The album was the ambitious big-budget follow up to the award-winning Eternal Nightcap, and
was named in Rolling Stone's Best Australian Albums of All Time list last year at no. 101. Spawning famous singles Blow Up the Pokies and Thank You (for loving me at my worst), the
album will be played in full with a greatest hits set including live favourites. But that's not all—this
time they're bringing a brass section to cover many of the melody lines that were such a feature of
the lushly orchestrated long player.
Tim Freedman will be joined by long term cohorts guitarist Jak Housden and drummer Terepai
Richmond, who were both part of the sessions back in 1999, with new member multi-
instrumentalist Ian Peres.
It will be an evening of memories, milestones and humour as the band delivers their usual rambunctious performance, complete with the power of brass.
Opening the bill is special guest Charm of Finches.
Come join the band at the Odeon where you will be inspired to party like it's 1999.
