Following on from their inaugural Wednesday residency at Melbourne’s iconic Cherry Bar in November, The Crystal Ship have announced that they will be continuing to kick into summer with an unmissable show at another Melbourne music institution: The Espy.
The band’s upcoming show on December 21st comes directly off the back of The Crystal Ship’s stand out performance of their song ‘Desert Child’ as part of ALWAYS LIVE’s ‘Garage Band’ Festival, held in Fed Square. Capturing the fervent energy of the band and their music, this recent run of shows has proven their staying potential.
The Crystal Ship’s upcoming show at The Espy will be the final chance music lovers will have to see the band perform this year, before they retreat for the summer, where they will lock themselves away for the first part of 2025 to record their much-anticipated debut release.
The four-piece group has been developing their sound upon a bed of shared influences that range from the riff-heavy classic notes of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin; through to the songwriting depth of artists including Jeff Buckley and Jim Morrison. This has seen them amass a rapidly expanding devout following before ever releasing any music. Building on such influences that have prided themselves on stepping outside the box, The Crystal Ship have developed a sound that gleefully barrels through psychedelic fever dreams, all the way into moments of pure euphoria.
