Free Range sounds, sunny side up. Loosen up with the IMA’s Thursday-night sound club.

Ragtime Frank: Founding member of free-rock outsiders The Lost Domain returns from Nipaluna/Hobart to the IMA for the first time in a decade, ready to shake it like a mole in the ground. The emergence in early 1990s Meanjin/Brisbane of a pre-war blues-obsessed noise outfit with their heads buried in the Harry Smith Anthology was, and remains, a head-scratching anomaly of the highest order. The sweet mystery still burns in brother Frank. Expect hollers, foot stomps, and no-wave chops. For the children of Son House. Nice and greasy, over easy.

Oscar Keating and Yvette Ofa Agapow: New combo of two unstoppable local sound explorers. The ubiquitous Yvette Ofa Agapow—pack leader of the notorious Chapel Hill drain-gig set, black-tonsilled noisician extraordinaire and winner of the percussionist-most-likely-to-be-dragging-an-amplified-chain-through-your-head award—teams up with Free Range favourite and Coo master-general Oscar Keating for a set of flaked-guitar and drum-song puff. Smoked deviled.

Guardia Civil: the non-linear drumming cyclone that is Tony Irving collides with low pressure bass system Max Fowler-Roy. Batten the hatches! An overturned floor tom for a kick, the breeze in his hair (so to speak), Tony Irving doesn’t just play the kit – he is the fucking kit! His infamous nineties UK duo Ascension with guitarist Stefan Jaworzyn scorched the earth lit by Coltrane/Ali. Captain Fowler-Roy trips the same synaptic spark, as these two free improvising neurons light out for the territory. Hard boiled and tossed at the audience.

Doors open at 6pm.
