The Hard Quartet (Emmett Kelly, Stephen Malkmus, Matt Sweeney, and Jim White) bring their live show to EartH Theatre on Friday 27 June
In the fall of 2023, that treasure came in the form of a shoebox filled with home videos Powers found in his parents’ basement while he was looking for a pre-war harmonica that once belonged to his grandma. “When I took the tapes home and popped in the first one, it was my brother Bobby and I at the state fair. I was 4 years old choking on a corn dog,” he laughs. “If anything’s a summary of life, that is.” Powers spent the following week recording his favorite moments off the TV — Easter egg hunts, backyard baseball, bloody noses, birthday parties, road trips, and all the life in-between.
Rooted in love and childhood memoir, Rarely Do I Dream is a triumph of American gothic imagination — where storybook innocence dissolves into a radioactive billow of teenage drifters, drug-addled hustlers, and old-world folklore. Drifting between propulsive electronica and hallucinatory rock songs, Powers’ singular voice always glows front and center as the neon road sign pointing home.
The performance will be recorded and form part of a album release on Prah Recordings.

Spawned in the era of warehouse raves the seminal band The Sabres of Paradise, along with the likes of the Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Leftfield were lauded as the true pioneers of a new wave of dance / electronica taking over the clubs and eventually the airwaves.
Formed in 1992 The Sabres of Paradise, originally a studio partnership of Andrew Weatherall, Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns, were prolific working with and remixing the artists of the day including Bjork, Leftfield and New Order before signing to the iconic Warp Records to concentrate on their own sound.
In preparation for the 2025 version of the live shows, the band has gone back to the original files, tracks recorded on Akai samplers and now defunct multitrack Hi-8 systems, and have been bringing them up to date with the latest tech; rebuilding building every track to make sure it is as close to the originals and possible. They have also commissioned Chris Tomsett of Innerstrings to create live visuals for the performances ensuring that The Sabres Of Paradise Live will truly be an audio visual spectacular worthy of the band’s legacy.
