One Night Band
Created by Liam Kelly
Produced by Squash Co. Arts Collective
April 15th BATS Theatre
Thirteen hours. Twelve songs. Six musicians. A whole lot of audience members. One album.
Over thirteen hours, our team of musicians will work with you to write, record, and mix an entire album from scratch. With each new song a different rule or “spark” is used to challenge the band and gather creative content. Using your input, we’ll work together to write and record a new song every hour, on the hour for 12 hours before enjoying a drink at the bar and listening back to our brand new album.
The re-branded revival season of One Night Band was a huge success. We created a varied album with songs ranging from a classical war song, to a cowboy ballad to an elephant's lullaby.
