Really really dead

Umbrella Festival

Update 19/7/2021: Due to further COVID-19 restrictions being imposed in South Australia today, the gig on Friday will almost certainly have to be cancelled. We are working to find a rescheduled date and venue. For all those who have purchased tickets, please watch your inbox for messages from Moshtix regarding the reschedule or refund options.

We are very sad we can’t share this night with you, but thank you for your understanding and support!

Put Friday 23rd of July in your calendar, as Ancient Design will be playing at the Crown and Anchor Hotel with
Athletic Teenage Joggers and Dojo Rise as part of the 2021 Adelaide Umbrella Festival.

Athletic Teenage Joggers defy age as they strut their new material in this modern era of spandex. Ancient Design will guide you from the entrance and entrance you with their post-psych, pre-death chillaxness. Dojo Rise are forging a style from their love of big band reggae, dub & soul music, and will fire up the dance floor with no regard for your winter blues. See you on the dance floor!

Tickets available now at Moshtix.
Venue capacity is still limited, so we expect this to be another sell-out show. Don’t miss out (again)!

Ancient Design is an original band from Adelaide, Australia playing a mix of post-psych, pre-death chillaxness. Yes, that’s a real genre.

Have a listen:

Members

Flash Gordon (vocals, ukulele)
Leathery, feathery, singer/songwriter, frontman of the former funkers Friday’s Fox, and all ’round nice hairy Pommy guy, Flash will take you on a journey but probably forget where he left you. Bring money for a taxi.

Conor Kinsella (guitar)
You likely know Conor from the blues/rock powerhouse which is Kitchen Witch. If not, you’ll soon know Conor from the slick tones of Ancient Design… Salvaging his fingers from the remains of Sledgehammock and Woe, he’s ready to diddly diddly with his wah and let you watch.

Tristan Louth-Robins (synths)
Normally on the guitar and vocals ensuring Garden Ruin sticks to its path of botanical breakage, Tristan instead picks up the synths, texturing your soundscapes and colouring your atmosphere.

Patrick Tapping (bass)
After providing bass load power to Sledgehammock, Ventolin, and Friday’s Fox, Patrick is now tapping into his bass desires to bring you… MORE BASS.

Sven Hentschel (drums)
Accuracy. Speed. Precision. Long lasting lubrication. All the qualities you desire in a razor, as well as your drummer. Best known for his work with iconic metal band SE BON KI RA, Sven has been sedated and put through a rigorous re-education program to convince him he’s now the drummer for Ancient Design.
