The Red Bull Music Academy has spent over a decade circumnavigating the globe, touching down in musical capitals worldwide annually, and bringing together some of the brightest minds in the sonic universe. This year’s academy will be held in one of the world’s great cities, a mecca for vinyl lovers, beat junkies, jazz heads and technology lovers alike, Tokyo Japan.

The Red Bull Music Academy is a series of music workshops, a platform for those who shape our musical future. Every year, two groups of 30 selected participants – producers, vocalists, DJs, instrumentalists, and allround musical mavericks from all around the globe – come together for two fortnight-long ‘terms’.

To celebrate the announcement of Tokyo 2011, the Red Bull Music Academy bandwagon will be rolling into the city of churches for two days of gigs and workshops on April the 2nd and 3rd, to encourage the talented musical community of Adelaide to apply for the academy by offering them a taste of what the 2011 Tokyo edition has to offer.

Saturday April 2nd will be your change to party academy style with one of the gigs of the year going down at Rocket Bar. Onstage will be Space Invadas (Katalyst and Steve Spacek with their 5 piece band) and Brooklyn’s favourite soulstress, MC and producer extraordinaire Pursuit Grooves. Holding down the support slots will be local 11 piece afro-soul juggernaut The Shaolin Afronauts, Dialect and Despair as well as DJ’s Japeye and DL.

Saturday April 2 Rocket Bar 142 Hindley St. Adelaide
Doors 9pm
Tickets $15 presales through venuetix / $20 on the door

Sunday April 3 will be your change to get up close and personal with Steve Spacek at the academy info session. The Botanic Bar will provide the setting and the academy will provide the refreshments for one of contemporary music’s most celebrated vocalists/producers in an intimate open couch session.
