Tim Minchin To Play 'Apart Together' In Full During Livestream Sydney Concert In November

Tim Minchin has announced a one-off livestream concert from Sydney.
The comedian, composer and singer-songwriter will play his debut studio album, 'Apart Together', in full at the Australian city's iconic Trackdown Studios on November 19, the day prior to the record's release. Tickets will be available from 12pm local time on November 2. He said:
“I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make live entertainment in this no-live-entertainment world, and - as always - how to make a virtue of the restrictions placed on us as artists. And I’ve concluded that we have a fantastic opportunity to make a new style of “live” concerts. Not like the old model, where cameras are inserted into seats in an audience, or put on the shoulder of a camera operator dressed in black, skulking around the edges of the stage, pretending they don’t exist. But instead, I want to bring the audience into the room with us. I want the viewer to feel like they have been invited into the studio to watch the final dress rehearsal for a concert and have been given permission to stand in amongst the band, to sit down next to me (ewww), to be completely inside the experience. This album we’ve made really lends itself to this sort of performance: the songs tell stories that ask the listener to stay engaged with every lyric; they are generally very personal; they vary in style from proper all-out rock-pop tracks to seriously intimate ballads. I really hope people settle in with a really good set of speakers, a really good friend or two, and a really nice bottle of wine, and let me see if I can’t give them an online performance that isn’t quite like anything they’ve ever seen. Oh. That sounds like porn doesn’t it. *It’s not porn.”
To coincide with the announcement, Minchin has shared another preview of his new album. The Absence Of You is a sombre ballad that ricochets between basic keys for the verse and full-blown, guitar-driven band choruses. Watch its accompanying video below.
