Photo City Music Hall proudly presents Surprise Chef with special guest Alanna Royale and DJ Analog Al. Sat June 10 / 8pm / $15 adv
Surprise Chef are Melbourne, Australia's cinematic soul journeymen, pushing vivid shades of instrumental jazz-funk with a DIY mentality.
Their live show is an odyssey through dark landscapes of analogue synth-laden funk and left-field library music-esque scenes; a flowing, linear puzzle of vivid minor-key expressions.
Alanna Royale makes classic-minded R&B and soul music for the modern age. It's a sound rooted in big melodies, blasts of brass, percussive punch, and old-school grooves…"

Analog Al
Analog Al is the host of the "genre bending" Monday night radio show "The Art Of Phonography" on 104.3 WAYOFM/wayofm.org. His passion for "good music" knows no bounds which is why his collection of vinyl is as schizophrenic as a Jackson Pollock painting, yet he seamlessly finds a way to connect the necessary dots in order to keep the groove alive.
