The New Charlatans

sha – lar – tan (noun): “a flamboyant deceiver, a person practicing quackery, a malicious trickster”. The New Charlatans have arrived, unleashing a truckload of abstract, moody blues on audiences around WA. Soulful as the cries of a drunk at closing time one moment, and four to the floor like happy hour the next, you'll never quite know whether you've been dealt a winning hand, or taken for a ride. Craig Sinclair on guitars and vocals, Roy Martinez (Dave Mann Collective, Cinema Prague) on bass, Jean-Guy Lemire on harmonica and Angus Diggs (Jeff Lang, Mia Dyson) on drums and other select pieces of salvaged junk drive the timeless sounds of the Delta via the Australian desert into a venue near you.

2007 Release - Barefoot Ballads: Live at the Kidogo Arthouse

The latest offering from Craig Sinclair is an intimate live recording entitled Barefoot Ballads, captured solo and acoustic in May 2007 by George Kailis and mixed by Pete Grandison at Shanghai Twang studios. With nowhere to hide, this recording is a collection of moving and honest acoustic folk-blues songs. "Barefoot Ballads" has been doing the rounds on community and national radio of late, and early reviews have been glowing in their praise.

Available at local record stores Mills (Fremantle), 78s (Perth), Planet Video (Mt Lawley), Birdland Records (Sydney) and Basement Discs (Melbourne). Or get it right here by purchasing the album online. Alternatively, purchase individual tracks as digital downloads through SoundClick.com
