The Crystal Ship - Unplugged - With Greg Allan supporting

The Crystal Ship return in a rare and intimate form with an exclusive Unplugged performance at the Wesley Anne.

Known for their hypnotic blend of psychedelic raga rock, the band strips back everything for one ephemeral night of raw unamplified sonic magic.

After a run of electrifying sold-out shows over the last 12 months, this special performance reimagines their music in its most organic form. Miles Rothe and Nic Durant, in common times on electric guitar and bass respectively, will swap out their instruments for acoustic guitars, mandolins, acoustic bass and piano. The typically bombastic Ned Fillingham will be on a broken drum kit with brushes and mallets, and crowned with the unmistakable vocals of frontman Anant Caprihan, the night will be a kaleidoscope of raga style accouticality with an Age of Aquarius meets MTV Unplugged type vista.

Set in the chapel-esque atmosphere of the beautiful Wesley Anne, the night will be a rare chance to witness The Crystal Ship transmit their deeply evocative songwriting with a quiet focus on the lyrics and melodies behind songs that are usually steeped in a megaton of psychedelic grit and sonic valour.

For OG fans and newcomers to the church of The Crystal Ship alike, this is not just a gig, but a moment in time... a ceremonial peek behind the curtain of a band mid ascension, unveiled and transcendent.
