To celebrate a successful conference and giving delegates a chance to let their hair down, the GreenFringe Festival at Queensbridge Hotel will host leading Australian artists including Lior and Kid Confucius. Followed by the after party, featuring MC The Tongue and DJ Skoob.

LIOR

Lior’s self-financed first album Autumn Flow – which perfectly showcased Lior’s rich voice and enchanting musical arrangements, as well as subtly reflecting his Middle Eastern heritage – in time became one of the most successful independent debuts in Australian history, garnering Lior three ARIA nominations (including Best Male Artist) and a swag of other awards, including a prestigious Triple J ‘J Award’ nomination for Album Of The Year.

Further adding to Lior’s overall appeal is his acclaimed live show, his laid-back charm and charisma (coupled with his furious touring ethic) causing demand to flourish to the extent that a live album Doorways Of My Mind was released in 2006, an unprecedented step for an artist with only one studio album on the shelves. When time came to build on this solid foundation Lior spent the bulk of 2007 working on his follow-up album Corner Of An Endless Road.

KID CONFUCIUS

Formed in 2001, the eight piece Sydney band Kid Confucius has established a solid reputation across Australia as one of the country's leading live acts, deftly bridging the gap between old school soul and modern hip hop.

Kid Confucius has released two albums, with the latest album Stripes attracting critical acclaim in Australia, with glowing reviews across all major music and mainstream publications, earning the band performances on commercial TV and solid radio play around the country.

Over the past year, Kid Confucius has been travelling around Australia again for the Street Corner Soul Tour presented by triple j which has included an array of summer festival appearances including Groovin' The Moo and Homebake.

MC THE TONGUE

Aged just 22, The Tongue has already released two albums and has worked with names like Braintax, Dudley Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow (Stones Throw), Ozi Batla and Jane Tyrrell (The Herd) and Jai Pyne (Paper Scissors).
