PLINTH and other stories is drawn from the life of the former Wild Bohemian. Some stories are true, some are almost true and some are complete fiction. “Evocative”, “whip crack sharp” and often hilarious storytelling set in the inner city arts and music underbelly.
FINGERS
Malcolm Hill’s solo album Voir Nights won the prestigious Narnie award on 3RRR’s BLB program for Album of the Year. 2015 will see the release of Malcolm Hill’s new release ‘Fingers’ backed by his band This Is The Show.
From the story ‘Plinth’ in ‘Plinth and other stories’ by Malcolm Hill:
“I won’t play on the floor. I won’t play on the carpet of the front bar of a pub. I must have a stage, a platform, whatever you call it. I will not have some old Anzac drunk wandering through my James Brown splits or Iggy Pop wrestle with mic stand routine; won’t have real estate agents from South Melbourne chatting on phones obliviously walking through my high wire balancing act of tension, emotion and F Diminished shuddering grand finale! I won’t play on the floor. I must have my stage, my Rostra, my Plinth! “
