The rich and melancholic voice of Carla Lippis has evoked a cathartic reaction in audiences everywhere; from London’s West End to supporting Mötley Crüe. One of Australia’s best-kept secrets, her sound oscillates between torch songs inspired by Angelo Badalamenti, and dystopian avant-rock reminiscent of The Birthday Party. In this special commission for WOMADelaide, she celebrates her Italian musical heritage through the lonely vistas of Spaghetti Western and the romantic twang of 1960s Italo-pop, backed by a formidable seven-piece band.
