New generation of Australian musicians pay tribute to Hunters and Collectors.<\/p>\n
An upcoming tribute to the legendary Hunters & Collectors features a Neil Finn \/Eddie Vedder duet, a new Avalanches remix and interpretations of the band’s most famous songs by a new generation of Australian artists including Oh Mercy, Abbe May, British India and Birds of Toyko.<\/p>\n
Crucible is released just before the last weekend of September: coincidentally the same weekend as the AFL and NRL Grand Finals. But, we’re sure that’s just a coincidence and there’s nothing at all to be read into that. Surely… ?<\/p>\n
Formed in the early ’80s around Melbourne’s notorious St Kilda\/Seaview Ballroom scene, Hunters and Collectors’ uncompromising and intense energy and raw musical versatility saw them a carve a unique niche all their own, regaled in the suburbs and the inner city in equal measure.<\/p>\n
The Hunters have been notoriously cagey on even one-off reunion prospects since they disbanded in 1998, although they wasted no time at all playing Black Saturday-related relief gigs in 2009.<\/p>\n
In any case, it’s high time their unique songwriting oeuvre and highly original musical approach was recognised by younger generations of both fans and musicians.<\/p>\n
Hunters & Collectors’ Mark Seymour says, \u201cit’s deeply rewarding for me as a writer to know that beyond the years and all the hard work that was done in the crucible of the Australian suburbs, the songs of Hunters & Collectors have reached the cream of Australia\u2019s talent, great singers and bands young and older.”<\/p>\n
