The Whitlams return to the South Coast, presented by 94 9 Power FM They wowed audiences in 2009 and the Whitlams are now returning to the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre Saturday September 11th. The Whitlams are one of Au septtralia’s favourite bands whose appeal reaches audiences of all ages and tastes. With lyrics described as having a “charming cynicism” and enhanced by an instinct for poignant melody, they have become a staple of the local music scene. The Whitlams’ success has always been about the emotional clout of the songs, so it was no surprise when demand rocketed for the performances where the songs were presented without their rock adornments. After a run of shows backed by Australia’s best Symphony Orchestras, December saw The Whitlams playing three sold out shows at the Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Late 2008, The Whitlams released Truth, Beauty & A Picture of You – Best Of The Whitlams and it has been described by Tim Freedman as his “ultimate Whitlams mixtape”. Complete with detailed liner notes telling the stories behind the songs The Whitlams’ Best Of debuted at number 3 in the ARIA Album Charts and remained in the Top 10 for six weeks running. |
