Local emerging artist Andy Quilty

We are big fans of local emerging artist Andy Quilty whose recent exhibitions at Linton and Kay have been a huge success. Andy’s work focuses on the suburban Australian male and he finds plenty of insipriation from the Rockinham friends he grew up with. After working for 10 years as a commercial surfboard artist in Western Australia and the United States, in 2009 Andy turned his focus towards his personal art practice. With a grunge aesthetic, Andy’s works are characterised by aggressive and rapid marks made with a combination of ballpoint pen, aerosol and auto enamel paint. His latest exhibition FIFO focuses on a unique point in our state’s history where the fly-in-fly-out blue collar worker is now financially valued at an unprecedented level. This change has been met by ridicule and elitist sentiment by many and Andy’s work provides an honest record of the FIFO worker and he seks to elevate their status beyond simplified cliché’s and free from any romanticism. Check out his work here. (www.andyquilty.com)

Call Collector

Although Call Collector may be a new name in the Australian music scene, they don’t seem like a new band. The songs have a depth and polish more typical of seasoned veterans, and it’s hard to believe that the upcoming studio album “Perceptionist” will be the band’s first release.

That’s not to say that the band has come from nowhere. Sebastien Bouchard, Scott Robinson (no longer with the band) & Mike Cullingford formed Call Collector in 2007. With a diverse range of musical backgrounds and a wealth of songwriting experience behind them, the band set their immediate focus on refining their sound and working hard to craft the album that would announce the band to the world.

With recording engineer Kieran Kenderessy (Birds of Tokyo), “Perceptionist” was born. The partnership was serendipitous, with Kieran now playing bass guitar in the band. A month in London working in Miloco Studios’ famous “Engine Room” led to the band working with producer/mixer/engineer Donald Clark (Muse, Guns ‘n’ Roses).

As the three friends prepare for the release of Perceptionist in early February 2013, Burgermeister will keep you updatd on the launch, gigs and where to buy the album.

Many thanks to Stormie Mills for his artwork to create the album cover.
