FRIDAY - 8.00pm - Big Wheel Stage
Victorian five piece Epicure
have been quiet of late, locked away in the studio brewing a new sound for
their third LP, Postcards From A Ghost,
due in store 2008. Cobra Kisses is
the first single to be taken off this forthcoming album, a quirky rocking track
featuring the unmistakable luscious vocals of lead singer Juan Alban, and introducing new band member, guitarist Michael Hubbard (Jen Cloher and the Endless Sea).
2007 saw Epicure supporting Evermore, Powderfinger
and Silverchair on their Across The Great Divide Tour and mammoth run of national dates mixing headline
shows with supports for Blues n Roots darling Mia Dyson on her Struck Down
album tour.

"Juan
Alban's distinguishing vocal sends shivers down your spine the way he extends
his voice is masterful." Mixdown
"Lead
vocalist Juan Alban's unusually high register soul voice, which seems to me
kinda like a cross between Ben Harper and Mick Hucknall, has a compelling
honesty about it." Beat
"Epicure
are constantly slipping under the radar, yet constantly bringing out brilliant
albums. Reminiscent to Augie March's last release, using understatement to
great effect ...with a simple yet powerful piano line underpinning the fragile
vocal." Drum Media
