Bluebottle Kiss were formed in Sydney in 1993, a turbulent time in the Australian
independent music scene. They sound only like themselves: A strikingly volatile unit
bringing forth sweetness and ferocity, conjuring tales of personal vulnerability and a kind of
warped Australiana. After releasing multiple albums and EPs, they parted ways in 2007. In 2022, the ‘Revenge is Slow’ (2002) line-up of Bluebottle Kiss announced a run of 5
reunion shows across Australia. These were astonishing performances, transcending the
entire concept of reformation. Film maker Ben deHoedt shot the band’s hometown gig in
Sydney, resulting in the film (and accompanying live album) Bluebottle Kiss: Never Leave
Town – Live in Sydney. Made on the fly with minimal equipment, this unadorned yet
cinematic live document captures the rich hues, rough edges, vulnerability and vitality of
Bluebottle Kiss as they perform some of their most accomplished material to a packed
house over a 90 minute set.
