MAT. McHUGH & THE SEPERATISTA SOUNDSYSTEM

LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL

It’s pretty ambitious to consider recording a live album of a band that has only played a dozen shows. Capturing the essence of a live performance has managed to elude many, more seasoned acts. Mat. McHugh & The Seperatista Soundsystem have provided a glaring exception to this rule with their brand new LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL release. 

To be fair Mat. has known and played with the other members of that trio for years. Ian Pritchett (on bass) has produced every album Mat. has been involved with in the last decade and Paul Derricoot (on drums) has been a musical foil since playing on Mat’s 2008 album SEPERATISTA.

The sound of LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL is raw, soulful and real. Influenced by a broad range of genres from Hip Hop to Dub to Punk Rock. The album is a testament to the power of live music and puts forward the importance of the connection between performer and crowd.

Recorded in January 2013 across a run of summer shows in Australia,  the album features songs from Mat. McHugh’s recent LOVE COME SAVE ME LP, songs that span his prolific career as one of Australia’s most respected songwriters, as well as a mash-up of the Clash and Beats International’s Guns of Brixton/ Dub Be Good To Me. 

If this is what the band sounds like after a handful of shows the future is an exciting prospect.

LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL will be available digitally on Die Boredom / Controlled Substance Sound Labs in Australia starting June 4, 2013.

Touring July, August, September 2013, with dates and venues to be announced.
