INSTORE ANNOUNCEMENT

BRENDA
Fri 22nd August 2025.
6pm sharp.

 

Brenda is the nom-de-plume of prolific multi-instrumentalist Hudson Whitlock, who’s new album ‘BATH TIME’ is on College Of Knowledge Records

Brenda encompasses the left-field soul sensibilities for which Whitlock has come to be recognised in cult instrumental groups Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo and The Pro-Teens, alongside heartfelt, introspective lyricism delivered in a sincere, delicate falsetto. Stylistically, lines can be drawn to the 1960s sweet soul ballads of The Delfonics, Jean-Claude Vannier’s vivid arrangements for Serge Gainsbourg, and, of course, the unmistakable flavour of Melbourne’s cinematic soul movement à la other Whitlock exploits Surprise Chef and Karate Boogaloo .

Join us on the release day of this amazing record by an inspirational young artist. It will be performed live in the church of funk for the disciples of groove, thats YOU from 6pm sharp.

Yes there will be a prize for the best dancer,

Yes, this instore is held on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Sovereignty was never ceded.
