VICTOR STRANGES & THE FUTURISTS will be playing a matinee show of ELVIS COSTELLO hits and obscurities at George Lane on Sunday 8th October.

The performance is not a costume changing tribute show, rather an affirmation of The Futurists’ love for the songs of Costello. The 4-piece band will play two sets totalling 90 minutes drawing from Costello's first 20 years of making records from My Aim Is True (1977) to All This Useless Beauty (1996).

Baby Animals founding member, Dave Leslie, will be joining the band on bass guitar, along with original Futurists members, Frank Scalzo (drums) and Mike Dupp (keyboards). Playing the radio songs to the more unknown album tracks, this is the ultimate combination for the die-hard Elvis Costello fan. Special Guest performance is from Melbourne singer-songwriter, Tim Reid.
