With Blake Appelqvist and Jessie Monk & Noless ~ we all share a mother ~ we can free each other ~ Two years ago, Sam Richardson and Scout Hook packed up their guitars and their dog, Winty, into a secondhand caravan, beginning a songwriting roadtrip along Australia’s east coast. Following their adventures, SAMSCOUT’s debut album ‘Painted Lines’ was born. Produced by Lewis Hosie in his home studio, the record features Ash Griffin, Brendan Hook, Warwick Hook, Ben Ingvarson, Michael Ingvarson, Shane Lestideau, Julian Steel and Sam Watts. On Saturday 7th November, SAMSCOUT welcome you to celebrate the launch of ‘Painted Lines’ at Northcote Social Club. Sam and Scout are joined by Lewis (keys), Ash (guitar), Ben (drums) and Sam (bass). Expect soaring vocals and dreamy instrumentations that will transport you to the ocean. Through SAMSCOUT, music becomes a sanctuary - to share in the ups and downs of being human, to navigate relationships, and to get back in the driver’s seat of our lives. BLAKE APPELQVIST Blake Appelqvist (they/them) is a Naarm-based artist making alternative R&B through expansive production, soulful vocals and intimate songwriting. Following the release of CALI and IKYLT, Blake has introduced a sound that feels both expansive and singular, ahead of their debut EP arriving this November. Rooted in queer storytelling and shaped by the intimacy and emotional precision of theatrical musicianship, their music moves between atmospheric pop, electronic textures and soulful R&B to create a world entirely their own. JESSIE MONK & NOLESS Jessie Monk and NoLess are musicians based in Naarm. Having weaved in and out of eachothers work, including album recordings, writing, practice, national and international tours, the pair are delighted to share a set supporting SAMSCOUT's album release. NoLess is the musical alias of Naarm-based songwriter Aidan Ryan. Blending raw and vulnerable songwriting with lush, dynamic guitar-based compositions, he has blossomed into a sonic language that is truly his own. Weaving the personal, political and spiritual, his songs traverse eclectic sound worlds nested in contemporary folk, indie, rock, soul and jazz. Inspired by land, relationships, spirituality and sexuality, the music's shifting landscape ranges from heart-wrenching love songs and soulful folk prayers to political anthems and queer liberation cries. Jessie Monk is an artist devoted to making space for the old ways in the new world - through song, story and ritual. Drawing inspiration from the folk traditions of her gaelic-ancestry, Naarm-based artist is obsessed with old myths, poetry, stories and songs from various traditions and lineages throughout the ages. Weaving them amongst new threads of jazz/experimental sounds, and drawing their inspirations into original compositions, Jessie and the people she plays with create atmospheres of tangible and, at the same time, experimental folklore.
