Chris Mason from My Majestic Star will be appearing on Perth radio station RTR FM’s Breakfast With Barr show tomorrow morning, 15th October, at 8:30am for a chat and to play a tune. Chris is appearing alongside Giles from The Imps to promote the Allsorts 2 event at the Hyde Park Hotel this Thursday night, 16th October, where The Imps, My Majestic Star and The Slow Beings will all be appearing in a night of unmissable entertainment.

My Majestic Star and having a reason why My Majestic Star - and having a reason why

For a Hidden Shoal-tastic night of tasty musical action, you can’t get much better than next Thursday’s Allsorts event: My Majestic Star, The Imps and The Slow Beings live at the Hyde Park Hotel, Perth. Doors open at 8pm and it’s a measly $5 entry.

The Slow Beings already have a formidable live reputation, but this is the first live performance by My Majestic Star. Once exclusively a recording project, one half of My Majestic Star will be performing songs from new album Too Late, The Day. Chris Mason (guitar, vocals) and Miriam Braun (cello) will be holding the fort in the absence of Jamie Hamilton (drums) and Stuart Medley (bass, keys). With more shows to come towards the end of the year with the full band, next Thursday’s show will be an intimate exploration of the band’s sound in a more raw, immediate context. Be there or be deeply saddened by your ineptitude!
