Alter Boy:
Live at Yonder Festival Amphitheatre Stage, Mary Valley, 26 November 2021
This episode Live Delay has captured a spellbinding performance from Perth queerlectro pop band Alter Boy. A incredibly unique band -besides the nacreous sheen of oozing talent- Alter Boy identifies as a deaf or hard-of-hearing band, with three of their members identifying as such. Their darkly jubilant music champions trans and queer identities, and the band have taken pains to integrate Auslan translation into all of their performances. Implementing heavy bass and sub tones throughout their oeuvre is yet another way for Alter Boy to connect with their deaf and hearing-impaired community. This particular set was recorded live at Yonder Festival’s Amphitheatre stage in 2021, somewhere around the Scenic Rim of South-east Queensland.
