Ten years ago this weekend... we shared this incredible experience along with 10 of our very best musical Brisbane/Meanjin friends, honouring the genius of David Bowie and the brilliant ZIGGY STARDUST album, just a few weeks after his sudden passing in 2016. Here are the first minutes of that first show at Brisbane Powerhouse - the iconic Five Years, led by our Lucinda on lead vocals, a song we have continued to play in various forms since that time. Were you there with us?

We send a giant wave of gratitude to everyone who came with us on our ride through 2025. We started the year with two lovely shows in full band mode with These Idle Hands, then pivoted into our ‘METAL MODE’, releasing our third album Metal, two singles and two videos made with the brilliant Rhys Tyack and our dear performer friends Brian Lucas and Lisa O’Neill. We played @thecaveinnstagram (twice), @bansheesbar @alchemixstudios and finished the year at the stunning @elm_house_ at Mount Glorious. Now we rest, and 2026 beckons with a new chapter already being plotted... (cue evil laughter) 🖤🖤🖤 Photos by Donna Hooper, Michelle Bowden, Lachie Douglas (Somefx) and Kellie Jane 🙏

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at the beautiful Elm House for our final show of 2025. So pleased to have launched the METAL vinyl edition at this show, have so many new friends in the audience and to play in this extraordinary venue so brilliantly managed by our hosts Laura and Gav. A perfect way to end the year.... see you in 2026 🖤🖤🖤 📷 Peter Cain 🙏

The voice is such an expression of everything humans can be and feel. We’re so grateful to our friend and producer for METAL, Jamie Trevaskis who has a way of tuning in to our sensibilities and meeting us in our vision, where the sonic aesthetic is very much about evoking the world that the songs inhabit so the listener may do that too. It was Jamie who encouraged us to make a studio recording of METAL when we shared a house concert performance together in 2023. That night, Jamie performed a set of Twin Peaks material with Mia Goodwin and Rohan Seekers, and we performed a super-stripped back set of Gary Numan songs. Those embryonic versions have become the album METAL and our recent full performances in full ensemble mode. I always feel so safe and looked after in Jamie’s hands and ears. He loved the relationship between the voice, the metallic and the organic, and we love the combination of human, imagined and surreal elements. Wood and ivory and strings meet metal and voice. I love to feel all the different human elements of vulnerability and fully human world of the voice. For me, the album is also an incredible time capsule, linking together my earliest encounters with Gary Numan, exploring my voice as an actor, collaborating with James on so many visions and finally stepping through the beautiful Australian bush to a tiny cottage studio at Mt Nebo to record the album with Jamie. Most recently we have had the pleasure of creating the clear vinyl edition of the album and preparing for our concert at Elm House, Mount Glorious this coming Sunday. We play Sunday 7 December (2-5pm) at Elm House, our final show of the year, with very special guest Sarah Stockholm in duo mode. BOOK TIX in LinkTree in Bio

We’re so excited to be performing in the amazing @elm_house_ at Mount Glorious in two weeks. The beautiful open space, wooden floors & walls and huge gothic windows - we are feeling very on-brand and can’t wait to fill the room with our music to celebrate the launch of the vinyl edition of METAL. We’ll be mixing up our setlist for this show - playing songs from METAL as well as some of our favourite songs we wrote ourselves. Tickets for the show are now well over half sold, so please allow us to encourage you to book yours soon.

Very excited to visit Suitcase Records this morning to see our album METAL being manufactured before our very eyes! Such careful and loving attention from the team - Neil, Catherine, James & June - it’s a darkly magical process to us and we can’t wait to get these into the hands of all of you who have supported us by pre-ordering. Speaking of pre-ordering - our fundraiser/pre-order campaign finishes in 12 DAYS and there are only around 25 copies still available to purchase. We’d love to have your support to get these last few over the line, onto your turntables and into your living rooms! SUPPORT/PRE-ORDER link in LinkTree in bio or copy/paste: /profile/silver-sircus

We had an amazing time recording our version of Gary Numan’s WE ARE GLASS earlier this year with the brilliant Liam Brimble at the desk at Alchemix Studios. We’re now thrilled to be including this track on the full 11-track clear vinyl version of the album, due to be released in a limited edition of 100 only, this December. We’d love your support to help meet some of the costs, and you can pre-order the album now link in LinkTree in bio or at /profile/silver-sircus
