Third Floor is a month of performances curated by Tamara Murphy featuring tertiary students and their bands. Each week sees two bands perform live, with the emphisis on collaboration and exploration.

This week: Come Heavy Sleep & Lovely Rita

Come Heavy Sleep

Come Heavy Sleep is an original duo del molto espressivo who, after twenty shows around Melbourne, are poised to release their debut recording mid-2020. Amongst their balladry and meditative improvisation, cello, dobro, and voice coalesce to give weathered flesh to rustic songs about old times and alone times. It is the music of empty country at dusk and a wine in the dark. Come Heavy Sleep is Rosie and Kier.

Lovely Rita

Lovely Rita is a guitar/bass duo consisting of Henry Cameron and Vincent Barker paying homage to the compositions and works of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They aim to employ the use of improvisation to reinterpret the Beatles' catalogue, whilst capturing the essence of these timeless compositions.
