About
Mother Culture is a guitarist for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Brothers Darcy and Spencer Ward write, perform and produce everything themselves from a home studio in Melbourne. On record Mother Culture sounds like a full band: loud, psychedelic, somewhere between indie rock and pop. Live in a smaller room they strip it right back to acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, which lets them cover songs across a lot of genres and eras and rework their own material, Lust for Love and Dive among them, into something quieter. Two people, wide range. If the venue has a stage and lights, they'll bring the rest of the gear.

The show
Darcy and Spencer write, perform and produce the lot themselves. On record it's loud and psychedelic, sitting somewhere between indie rock and pop, built from a wide spread of influences. In a smaller room they pull it apart and rebuild it around acoustic guitar, piano and vocals, which opens the set up to covers across a lot of genres and eras. Their own songs get the same quieter treatment. Two brothers, plenty of range.
On the day
If your venue has a stage and lighting already in place, that covers it. The pair bring their full gear, so instruments and the rest of the rig arrive with them and there's nothing to hire in on your end.
