‘Absolute craft, stunning moments of song and music.’

Beautiful Dark is a musical collective committed to creating an immersive atmosphere that is at once ethereal and grounded in the world of Twin Peaks. Performing faithful interpretations of the music from the television series and the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the group seek to recreate the world created by Mark Frost and David Lynch.

As described by the Australian Arts Review:

‘There’s absolute craft, stunning moments of song and music, but they’re always careful to not take themselves too seriously. It makes for an entertaining night, something Dale Cooper would be right to call, “Damn fine”.’

Beautiful Dark’s expanded show ‘Welcome to Twin Peaks’ premiered at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2019. Featuring projections, props, costumes and donuts, ‘Welcome to Twin Peaks’ captivated large appreciative audiences and also caught the attention of reviewers.

More recently, Beautiful Dark have mesmerised audiences at The Astor Theatre, Palais-Hepburn, Theatre Royal Castlemaine and the Screenwave Film Festival in Coffs Harbour. Beautiful Dark begin 2023 with ‘A Night at the Roadhouse’, a new show that incorporates the dreamy sounds of local bands.

Beautiful Dark’s members are: Ann-Marie Sullivan (vocals), Bec Blakeney (keys/vocals), Zoe Hunting (synth/vocals), James Payne (guitar), Andy Hazel (bass/guitar), Dandelion Jackson (saxophone) and Billy Raffin (drums).
