Alt-rock/pop duo Bird Machine return to Geelong once more to perform as part of Barwon Health Foundation’s Catwalk4Cancer.
Husband and wife Luke and Jenna Grbin will perform on Saturday, September 2 at the Geelong Arts Centre for the annual fashion show, which will raise funds to support the Andrew Love Cancer Centre.
Luke, who originally hails from Geelong, and Jenna currently reside in her native New Zealand but will cross the Tasman to play during design house Bird Skin’s show, which is the finale for the event.
Luke said he always looked forward to coming back to Geelong, especially if he got to perform while here.
“It’s my home, and playing to people from (Geelong) who haven’t seen us perform as Bird Machine, it’s really nice to share that,” he said.
“It’s always a blast when we go back. We try to catch up with as many people as we can in a short amount of time.”
Blending diverse influences such as Jeff Buckley, Florence and the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins and singer/songwriter Brooke Fraser, Bird Machine feature clever pop melodies over sometimes rocky, sometimes dreamy riffs, all recorded and produced in their Hamilton, New Zealand home studio.
Bird Machine has just launched their latest single, Hellos and Frowns, last month and will release their second EP in October this year.
