City born but country raised, when Dave Wright puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings he knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. It’s a dark road rutted by Holden rust buckets and RSL relics but between 2012-2021 Dave and his band the Midnight Electric released 4 albums and 2 EPS of searing roots rock music.

In June for one night only the band will launch their brand new album Darkness Calling by playing it in full, in sequence at George Lane in St Kilda in a rollicking, thoughtful, and intimate show that is not to be missed.

The band will be joined by supports 'The Cartridge Family' and Charlotte Le Lievre.
