He’s been traipsing the country solo all year, singing up a storm in the middle of nowhere. Now Skyscraper Stan is bringing his beloved band the Commission Flats back to Melbourne.
The sweet Nashville sounds of Georgia State Line and The Weeping Willows will be opening up proceedings from 8pm.
The eldest child of a novelist and a film maker, Stan was raised in a musical household with an innate appreciation for language. His adopted home of Australia is a goldmine for the observational tales of depravity, isolation, love and longing Stan likes to tell. Living out of his car, without a fixed address, he travels and catalogues the year round.
His debut album Last Year’s Tune was released in 2015 under the Skyscraper Stan and the Commission Flats moniker. A solo record Live at Some Velvet Morning was released in 2016. A second studio album is in pre-production, scheduled for release in early 2018.
“Skyscraper Stan Woodhouse is a revelation” – The Sydney Morning Herald
“Inspiration, talent and a singular musical vision. Last Year’s Tune is a tremendously rewarding listen” – New Zealand Musician Magazine
