News : We Lost The Sea hosting Chris Torpy tribute show

By on March 8, 2014

It has been one year since We Lost The Sea vocalist Chris Torpy sadly took his own life. On the 26th of April, a bunch of friends, bands and fans will come together to pay tribute.

It is a night for coming together as a community and a local music scene to remember and share some laughs and memories of the person he was and what he was passionate about.

“Not a day goes by that we all don’t think about him,” says We Lost the Sea drummer Nathaniel D’Ugo. “To pay tribute to Chris we could think of no better way than to get together a bunch of bands full of people that he loved and who loved him.”

The show will also be a fundraiser for the charity beyondblue who provide support for people who suffer any form of depression and anxiety, empowering all Australians, at any life-stage, to seek help. beyondblue raises awareness, reduces stigma and ensures people have access to the information they need to support recovery, management and resilience.

It truly is an absolutely superb lineup, featuring We Lost The Sea as well as Totally Unicorn, Adrift For Days, At Dark, Snakes Get Bad Press, Boneless, 100 Years of Solitude, Lo!, Feskit and Tigers For Sale. Tickets are $20 at the door, with all proceeds being donated to beyondblue.
