‘Music in the Mountains’ & ‘The Friends of The Mechanics Institute’  have teamed up to bring one of Australia’s most creative jazz acts to The Blue Mountains, The Vampires. The Vampires are touring on the back of their critically acclaimed recent album release, ‘Pacifica’.

Date: Saturday, March 30th, Venue: The Mechanic’s Institute, Lawson.

Doors Open: 6:30pm – First Set: 8:00pm – Second Set: 9:15pm

The Vampires are trailblazers for a new generation of creative jazz talent from Australia, having gained critical attention worldwide by pushing the genre into new realms. Creating a distinctive sound that is undoubtedly their own, the band has garnered praise from US Downbeat (“phenomenal”), UK Guardian (“seductive genre-hopping creativity”), The Saturday Paper (“one of my favourite albums of the year”) and All About Jazz (“gold all over”). The Vampires have received nominations for Australia’s ARIA awards, Bell Awards, AIR Awards, and were the first instrumental act to be short-listed for the Australian Music Prize.
