Cabfest ’23 – Sarah Stockholm: After Dark

Meanjin/Brisbane based maker of dark and danceable electro pop and rock music Sarah Stockholm invites you to descend into her mad world, After Dark, as part of the Queensland Cabaret Festival.

Stockholm’s sound unleashes a love of 70s/80s post-punk, synth-pop and atmospheric electronics, reminiscent of New Order, The Cure, PJ Harvey and Blondie. The sharp angles and cool lushness of these elements intertwine with Stockholm’s arresting vocals and deeply personal lyrics.

Stockholm has assembled some of Brisbane’s finest musicians for this moody and striking presentation of her work including James Halloran, Terry Dixon, Mark Angel and Chris Dixon.

She recently shared the bill with UK new wave synth-poppers China Crisis on their 2022 tour and was a featured vocalist/guitarist in the multi-artist show GIRL & GUITAR, playing a full house at Brisbane Powerhouse in the Queensland Cabaret Festival 2022.
