city you love we bring you:
Finnigan
and Brother
Finnigan and Brother is the duo of siblings Chris and David Finnigan. Formed in
Canberra, Australia, Finnigan and Brother have performed their ragged blend of
music and spoken word for crowds around Australia and Colombia. Chris creates
eerie and blissful songs and soundscapes using a guitar, loop station and FX
pedal, over which David performs scattered story-poems sampling popstar
interviews, overheard conversations, science texts, FM/AM radio and ancient
historians.
And we
bring you from Brisbane:
