Melbourne experimental musician and songwriter Francis Plagne launches his new album Tenth Volume of Maps with special guests Sean Baxter, The Icypoles and Mad Nanna

Released as a vinyl-only LP on the Lost And Lonesome imprint, the new album features inspired arrangements and performances by his live band and displays a more compositionally integrated approach than the sonic experimentation and wild oscillations that marked his first two albums.

Support on the night will be provided by The Icypoles whose loose-yet-tender mix of bubblegum rhythms, doo wop vocals and 60s girl group angst is fast winning them an adoring audience around town, and Mad Nanna, the brainchild of Michael Zulicki, in which his metronomic guitar strums and drawled poetry are accompanied by a loose barn-room jam-band forever struggling to synchronize beats and hit notes harmoniously, with magical and faintly disturbing effects.

Sean Baxter is an Australian improviser with an international reputation for being a bold explorer of percussive possibilities; as a  soloist, collaborator, and through his work with the acclaimed Pateras/Baxter/Brown trio.
