When we saw Harry James Angus do his solo thing at the Storm in a Teacup gig in June we were definitely taken aback. Here was a man best known either for the funk/soul/latin/jam band work with The Cat Empire or his electro-folk/hip hop work with Jackson Jackson and he was displaying yet another side to his musical persona – the folky singer songwriter. Armed with just a guitar and his unique voice Angus wowed us with his wonderful storytelling lyrical style and skillful fingerpicking.
So it’s probably not surprising that Harry James Angus has decided to commit this latest musical project to tape with the announcement of his solo album Little Stories. Released digitally on the 16th September and in stores on the 10th October, Angus will also be showcasing Little Stories in a handful of shows in Melbourne and Sydney this September, two with Roscoe James Irwin. The full dates and some live versions of his songs (including the wonderful “The Batsman”):
Thursday 8th September – The Toff in Town, Melbourne, VIC
Saturday 17th September – The Vanguard, Sydney NSW (with Roscoe James Irwin)
Sunday 25th September – Northcote Social Club, Melbourne, VIC (with Roscoe James Irwin)
