CAMILLE HENROT: PLAY YOUR PART 22 May 2020 – 4 Oct 2020, 10am - 5pm | Free entry | NGV International Camille Henrot, the French-born, New York City-based contemporary artist, will be celebrated in an Australian-first survey of works that take a playful and inventive approach to addressing existential questions, in May 2020. The exhibition will feature recent watercolours that explore aspects of human psychology, and the artist’s Interphones series of telephone sculptures that playfully draw attention to our relationship to authority and technology. In these interactive works, Henrot invites visitors to pick up a customised telephone and respond to prompts such as ‘Would you ever have sex at work? Is Google right about you? Are you gluten-free? Press control for yes. Enter for no.’ Featuring key works created by the artist over the past decade, Camille Henrot: Play Your Part will include the immersive room-scale installation The Pale Fox 2014, a companion piece to Henrot’s award-winning film Grosse Fatigue 2013, for which she won the Silver Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale. Grosse Fatigue attempted to tell the story of the universe whereas The Pale Fox is a meditation on our shared desire to understand the world intimately through the objects that surround us. Characterised by what Henrot has called a ‘cataloguing psychosis’, this vast installation features en masse more than 500 objects encompassing photographs, sculptures, books and drawings, including objects made by the artist as well as collected via eBay. IVAN DURRANT: BARRIER DRAW 1 May – 25 October 2020, 10am - 5pm | Free entry | The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia   Ivan Durrant, a leading exponent of photorealism, and natural raconteur, will be celebrated in a major survey paying tribute to five decades of his extraordinarily diverse career since the 1970s, at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia from 1 May 2020.  Ivan Durrant: Barrier Draw is the most comprehensive survey of Durrant’s work to date. Featuring over 100 multi-disciplinary works from the Melbourne-born artist, the exhibition will also unveil a new larger-than-life sculpture inspired by his controversial back catalogue. Drawn extensively from Durrant’s personal collection, the exhibition also includes major works from public and private collections from across Australia.  ‘A prolific artist and provocateur, Ivan Durrant has created one of the most audacious bodies of work in Australian art,’ said Tony Ellwood AM, Director, NGV. ‘With his work first exhibited at the NGV in 1979, we’re delighted to welcome Ivan back to pay tribute to his extensive career and provide a platform to unveil an unmissable new work.’ The exhibition chronicles the evolution of Durrant’s diverse career, including his earliest folk paintings depicting an idyllic childhood in the countryside, which were a sharp contrast to his own experiences having grown up in an orphanage; his realist paintings, short films and sculptures of the 1970s and 80s, including his race track and movie star series; politically motivated installation works including Butcher Shop 1977/78, held in the NGV Collection; and more recent evocative ‘soft-focus’ paintings of the 1990s and 2000s.  PLANS FOR THE PLANET: OLAF BREUNING FOR KIDS 29 May 2020 – 4 October 2020, 10am - 5pm | Free entry | NGV International Contemporary artist Olaf Breuning presents a large-scale participatory exhibition for children that plays to young people’s universal love of adventure and theme parks while referencing Breuning’s thoughts about life. Drawing from popular culture and inspired by the artist’s love of video games and movies from his youth such as Jurassic Park, the exhibition is an adventure of self-discovery.   WE CHANGE THE WORLD 8 May 2020 – April 2021, 10am - 5pm | Free entry | The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia Tackling global issues including climate, tolerance and social change, today’s children and young people are arguably the leading activists of our time, urging the world to think about how our actions are influencing our future. We Change the World takes the positive influence of this generation on shaping our worldview and, through the work of contemporary artists and designers, explores how creativity and expression is important at personal, community and global levels. The exhibition encourages all visitors, and especially school students and young people, to engage with the work of prominent Australian and international artists from the NGV Collection who focus on some of the big issues of today as well as celebrating everyday life. We Change the World highlights the contribution of creative minds and challenges us to consider our own potential for change, empowering young people, but also those of all ages, with the permission to be creative, speak up or speak differently.

by the partae February 6, 2020
written by the partae

Luca Brasi have released their new single This Selfish Love, out today via Cooking Vinyl Australia.

From Vocalist Tyler Richardson- “This tune is a bit of a deep dive into watching life unfold in front of you. Sometimes I look back and wonder what the hell happened, then get all nostalgic, then realise all that stuff doesn’t matter. What really matters is right now, hold onto that.”

To celebrate the release of their new track, Tasmania’s finest will hit the mainland for their first capital city headline tour in over 12 months!

The vibe at these shows will be huge, with a massive line-up of international and local artists put together by Luca Brasi. Making their highly anticipated first trip to Australia is New York’s Drug Church, plus Canberra’s Moaning Lisa and fellow Taswegian Kat Edwards.

Under the Southern Stars are thrilled to announce their spectacular Rock Carnival Festival Series coming to you this April 2020. Playing together for the first time in Australia will be  +LIVE+, BUSH and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS! Celebrating 25 years since the release of their iconic Throwing Copper album, +LIVE+ are one of the most beloved rock bands ever to tour the nation. During their career, +LIVE+ have achieved seven Top 5 albums in Australia, three of which topped the charts at #1 for a total of ten weeks! They have had a string of top 40 singles and Throwing Copper spent over two years in the Australian top 50 between 1994 and 1997. It has been certified 8 times platinum and was also the 8th highest selling album in Australia in 95/96. +LIVE+ reunited with original frontman Ed Kowalczyk in 2017 and have been blowing audiences away with their power ever since. From the rocking All Over You and I Alone to the glorious emotion of The Dolphin’s Cry and Lightning Crashes, +LIVE+ are playing with a vengeance and a vigor that reveals the band in top form and better than ever! BUSH have been a mainstay on Australian radios since the release of their debut album Sixteen Stone in 1994. The album was an instant smash spending 43 weeks in the Australian Top 50, peaking at #5. Glycerine, Everything Zen and Comedown are in the DNA of Aussie rock fans and are played daily on the airwaves to this day.  While the 90’s belonged to BUSH, they were on hiatus between 2001 and 2011 when they returned with The Sea Of Memories featuring The Sound Of Winter which made rock radio history in the US becoming the first self released song to ever hit #1 at Alternative Rock Radio! In 2019, BUSH came roaring back with the track Bullet Holes which is featured as the end title on the soundtrack to this summer's Hollywood blockbuster John Wick 3 Parabellum.  If you haven't seen Gavin Rossdale in the killer video for Bullet Holes, check it out here! One of the biggest rock acts of the 1990’s with over 50 million albums sold, Stone Temple Pilots broke out of the scene they helped to define into bonafide superstars. From their breakout debut album, Core, with legendary hits, Sex Type Thing, Creep, and Plush to Purple’s soaring Interstate Love Song and Big Empty and the late 90’s smash singles Big Bang Baby and Sour Girl, STP songs are the soundtrack of a generation. This year marks the 25th anniversary of STP’s Purple, one of the world’s top selling-albums in the 90s, that reached #1 on the Australian chart. In celebration, the band is releasing a super deluxe edition of the iconic album, featuring unreleased versions of album tracks and rarities, along with an unreleased full concert recording from 1994.   Stone Temple Pilots are reborn and writing the next chapter of their storied career, with their seventh studio album, Stone Temple Pilots (2018), their first with new lead singer, Jeff Gutt.   What more can be said about one of Australia’s longest running and most cherished rock acts? Rose Tattoo need no introduction but just in case you need a refresher, one of the pillars of Australia’s distinct pub rock sound have been spreading their message across the world for nearly 50 years! The Rock n Roll Outlaws, led by the one and only Angry Anderson, who at 72 years of age continues to show frontmen a quarter of his age, just how it's done, will pull no punches as they deliver a set full of classics. You know the words, you know the drill... Prepare to be Scarred For Life. Armed with their latest slab of pure rock n roll, Mother, Melbourne's legendary hard rockers, Electric Mary, will get the crowds primed for the evening ahead. Over their decade long career, Electric Mary have shared the world’s stages with some of the most revered names in hard rock including Whitesnake, Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Def Leppard and many more, Their explosive brain-bending live performances at home and abroad are regarded as one of, if not the best live shows anywhere!.  While we can talk facts and figures all day, the fact remains, you know the bands, you love the songs. Under The Southern Stars gives you the opportunity to experience the greatest hits from some of the worlds' greatest bands all in the one day and night of incredible rock and roll!   THE UNDER THE SOUTHERN STARS VILLAGE More Than Just Music Under The Southern Stars will deliver more than great music alone with the introduction in April 2020 of..

It's been a long time coming: Kobosil will finally head Down Under in his highly anticipated debut Australian tour. The Berlin DJ/producer made global impact with releases through techno imprint, Ostgut Ton, and he follows in the footsteps of peers like Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann to become one of the more celebrated residents of Berlin institution, Berghain. Not only is he considered one of techno's fastest rising DJs and producers, but he has helped pioneer a sound that is at once deep, fast and aggressive. His upbringing in the working-class district of Berlin's Neukölln, and the cathartic energy of EBM, noise and industrial, shaped this unique musical aesthetic. Aside from regularly releasing on Berghain's in-house label Ostgut Ton, Kobosil also runs his the R - Label Group imprint, which he uses as a platform to promote releases by up-and-coming Berlin producers at the forefront of a bleak and riotous approach to dance music. It's this combination of the dark and ecstatic that is at the foundation of Kobosil's powerful approach to techno.

Praise for Deceiver “‘Deceiver’ is an unbridled pleasure” - Pitchfork  “A success as both an artistic statement and a mea culpa” - Q Magazine, ★★★★ “It sounds clearer, more focussed, and with a distinct, continuous sonic palette” - DIY, ★★★★ “‘Deceiver’ packs some seriously heavy riffs, sliding between monster rockers (the scything, fist-swinging ‘Blankenship’) and moon-eyed grunge ballads (opener ‘Horsehead’, for instance) that wouldn’t sound too out of place on an early Smashing Pumpkins record” - NME, ★★★★ “DIIV’s most full-bodied album to date” - Loud & Quiet, 8/10 Following the release of their highly anticipated third full-length album Deceiver, NYC's DIIV today announce their Australian return with a five-date national tour. Kicking off on Wednesday 22 April, the band will bring their enthralling new live show to fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth & Hobart. Full run of dates below. Rebirth takes place when everything falls apart. On Deceiver, DIIV crafts the soundtrack to personal resurrection under the heavyweight of metallic catharsis, upheld by robust guitars and vocal tension that almost snaps, but never quite… The new album from Zachary Cole Smith [lead vocals, guitar], Andrew Bailey [guitar], Colin Caulfield [vocals, bass], and Ben Newman [drums] was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Sonny Diperri (Protomartyr, Trent Reznor), marking the first time the band has worked with an outside producer. The album features the crystalized, darkly propulsive lead single 'Skin Game,' magnetically melancholic 'Taker' and searing, frenetic track 'Blankenship'. Deceiver is preceded by 2012’s Oshin and 2016’s critical and fan favourite Is the Is Are. NME ranked it in the Top 10 among the Albums of the Year and Pitchfork’s audience voted Is the Is Are one of the Top 50 Albums of 2016 as the outlet dubbed it, “gorgeous.” Don't miss your chance to see DIIV live in Australia this April. Tickets on sale now via Mistletone.

Following the release of their highly anticipated third full-length album Deceiver, NYC’s DIIV today announce their Australian return with a five-date national tour. Kicking off on Wednesday 22 April, the band will bring their enthralling new live show to fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth & Hobart. Full run of dates below.

Rebirth takes place when everything falls apart. On Deceiver, DIIV crafts the soundtrack to personal resurrection under the heavyweight of metallic catharsis, upheld by robust guitars and vocal tension that almost snaps, but never quite… The new album from Zachary Cole Smith [lead vocals, guitar], Andrew Bailey [guitar], Colin Caulfield [vocals, bass], and Ben Newman [drums] was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Sonny Diperri (Protomartyr, Trent Reznor), marking the first time the band has worked with an outside producer. The album features the crystalized, darkly propulsive lead single ‘Skin Game,’ magnetically melancholic ‘Taker’ and searing, frenetic track ‘Blankenship‘.

Deceiver is preceded by 2012’s Oshin and 2016’s critical and fan favourite Is the Is Are. NME ranked it in the Top 10 among the Albums of the Year and Pitchfork’s audience voted Is the Is Are one of the Top 50 Albums of 2016 as the outlet dubbed it, “gorgeous.”

Don’t miss your chance to see DIIV live in Australia this April. Tickets on sale now via Mistletone.

THE OFFSPRING, one of the world’s most exciting and enduring punk rock legends. Having performed over 1100 shows across the globe, selling more than 40 million albums worldwide the band are thrilled to return to Australia and New Zealand for their first headline tour in 16 years in April.
 
In true THE OFFSPRING style, this will be no ordinary show. Their incendiary live show will showcase wall to wall bangers of their anthemic, oft-humorous punk-pop singles throughout their impressive career including all of the band’s best-known hits such as Self Esteem, Come Out And Play (Keep ‘Em Separated), The Kids Aren’t Alright, Original Prankster, You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid and loads more!

After over 15 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy Award nomination, 2 Juno Awards (7 nominations), a Kerrang! Award in 2002, as well as multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, SUM 41 are uncompromising and honest with no intention of slowing down.
 
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see these two punk power houses in action so start warming up those vocal chords, iron that crusty punk shirt and get yourself down to one of these shows.

They don’t come much more energetic than Sydney’s WAWAWOW - their name alone is like a neon slap to the senses - and to kick off a brand new year, the four-piece present a brand new collection of music in the cracking debut album, PINK ELEPHANT, out Friday, February 14th. Warping and threading psych, funk and hectic electro-indie influences throughout, the record is the perfect snapshot of the band’s attitude toward creating music. Leading the charge, WAWAWOW’s new single ‘The Big Cookoff’ is delightfully bonkers - just how they like it. Equal parts mental and ridiculously precise in delivery, ‘The Big Cookoff’ is textbook WAWAWOW. Evolving from jam sessions into produced recordings full of raw energy, the single is representative of a band who are firmly in the pocket, firmly tongue in cheek and firmly with their eye on a central vision on making music delivered in one-two punch style. “We always take it as a more-is-more approach with the music. As long as it’s paced nicely, we like to see how ridiculous it can get.” WAWAWOW Applying the same attitude to their visuals, the music video for ‘The Big Cookoff’ brings animation courtesy of Shaun Allen together with band and location footage in Sydney, sizing up brilliantly with the batshit nature of the song itself. “This track is our love/hate letter to Sydney in a lot of ways, so we wanted to get in as much of the city as possible. Given our natural aversion to being filmed walking around the streets, and the fact that we had just lost a band member, Shaun felt it was more fitting to try some stop motion.” WAWAWOW PRAISE FOR WAWAWOW “WAWAWOW just keep growing new teeth. This set doesn’t even pause for breath and is relentless, urgent, and nutty bananas from start to finish. This is one hell of a show, like being pounded and stomped, and loving every second.” The Underground Stage “Combine the righteous, face melting voltage of POND with the batshit zaniness of Tom Cruise appearing on Oprah and you’ll get an inkling for just how weird this four-piece can get.” Happy Magazine “A shattered self-deprecating tone marching through odd time signatures taking cues from somewhere between the B-52s and Royal Blood.” AMNplify With their new music ready and raring to go, fans will be able to catch WAWAWOW performing through NSW this month and in February. Time to join this crazy circus, WAWAWOW have got one helluva new show to deliver. “There’s something about the trance we put ourselves in, as we play without stopping, that has a slight tunnel vision effect. There’s no pauses to have a sip or fix up a pedal, so you kind of learn to exist on that plane.” WAWAWOW          WAWAWOW TOUR DATES Friday, February 7th The Loft @ UTS Sydney The Band’s Next Door 2SER with Stressless Saturday, February 15th Dicey Riley’s Hotel Wollongong Album Launch Saturday, February 22nd Town Hall Hotel Newtown Album Launch with Pyjama Sundayz, Cakewalk ‘The Big Cookoff’ is released Friday, January 17th.  Pink Elephant is released Friday, February 14th.

Jimmy Eat World announce special guests Gyroscope & Eat Your Heart Out | March 2020

by the partae February 3, 2020
written by the partae

ANNOUNCE SPECIAL GUESTS GYROSCOPE (FREMANTLE)
+ EAT YOUR HEART OUT (BRISBANE/ADELAIDE)

Headed back to Australia in March 2020 for their first live shows in three years are Arizona rockers Jimmy Eat World, who recently released their acclaimed tenth studio album, Surviving. The Jim Adkins-led outfit delivered their most personal, ambitious record to date with their latest listen, Surviving voted by Kerrang as one of 2019’s ‘50 Albums That Set Your World Ablaze’.

Adelaide fans: get in quick to secure your tickets, with the band’s show at The Gov on Monday 23 March almost sold out!

Jimmy Eat World will perform three headline solo shows while in AU, kicking the tour off at Metropolis in Fremantle on Monday 16 March, followed by The Tivoli, Brisbane on Thursday 19 March, and then wrapping up in Adelaide. They’ll also perform in Sydney and Melbourne as part of the Download Festival (not Frontier shows).

Touched by our recent bushfire crisis, Jimmy Eat World are also lending their support during their upcoming shows:

“Australia is one of our favourite places to play in the world and the fans there are second to none. What is happening with the fires this season is heartbreaking and in addition to hopefully bringing some joy to those who attend our shows, we will be lending our time and resources in any way possible to the relief efforts.”

The band has designed a new T-shirt which will be available on tour and is currently available on their webstore, with proceeds going to Red Cross Australia.

Today, Frontier Touring announce the addition of two special guests on the bill:

Joining in Fremantle is red hot WA legends Gyroscope. The four-piece delivered a slew of triple j classics in the late ‘90s/early 00’s: think ‘Baby, I’m Getting Better’, ‘Snakeskin’, and ‘Fast Girl’… With 7 x Hottest 100 entries between 2003-2010, the band were quickly a staple of Australia’s festival scene, playing two Big Day Outs, Groovin The Moo, Splendour In The Grass and plenty more. Gyroscope earned nine WAMi awards, 3.4 million+ streams on Spotify, a #1 album in Breed Obsession, all before stirring it up again six months ago when they dropped EP 4YRLV . Now, they’ll appear as special guest of Jimmy Eat World – fun fact, who they played with in 2003!

In Brisbane and Adelaide, Jimmy Eat World will be joined by fast rising Newcastle five-piece Eat Your Heart Out, who recently smashed it as part of the line-up for UNIFY Gathering (catch a glimpse of that here). Early 2019 saw the release of the band’s debut album Florescence, out via Fearless Records. The quintet – Caitlin Henry (vocals), Andrew Anderson (guitar), Will Moore (guitar), Dom Cant (bass), and Jake Cronin (drums) – showcase a searing power on tracks like ‘Carousel’ and ‘Closer To The Sun’, earning over 2.7m streams on Spotify in 2019 and rising.

Don’t delay – grab your tickets to catch Gyroscope (Fremantle) and Eat Your Heart (Brisbane, Adelaide) supporting Jimmy Eat World live in concert this March! Tickets are on sale now via frontiertouring.com/jimmyeatworld.

Soothsayer are delighted to reveal Willaris. K (Jack McAllister)’s latest single ‘INDIFFERENT’, the Australian electronic and ambient producer’s first-ever track to incorporate vocals, featuring Australian singer, songwriter and producer, Gordi (Sophie Payten). Premiered overnight via triple j Good Nights, ‘INDIFFERENT (WITH GORDI)’ is a harrowing and dramatic track that marks a transformative sonic turn for Willaris, showcasing his intrinsic ability to harness emotion through complex musical composition. Grounded in piano movements and melodic basslines, Willaris has built a textured and emotive soundscape that perfectly complements the haunting vocals the Bon Iver and Troye Sivan collaborator is famous for. The track was originally conceived at Willaris' home in NSW, then fine-tuned on Sophie’s farm in rural Australia, and finally perfected alongside renowned Sigur Ros collaborator and film composer Alex Somers at Shangri La Studios in Malibu, inside Bob Dylan’s iconic old tour bus.    "I wrote the instrumental as an experiment to see where I could take my music sonically. I wanted to explore it for film but also explore the more vulnerable side of Willaris. K. I melted when Sophie started singing the first line when we were recording." – Willaris. K   Gordi’s ability to make intensely emotional music is something the singer, songwriter and producer has mastered. With an impressive list of collaborations to her name, including Troye Sivan, Bon Iver, Julien Baker and The Tallest Man On Earth, her debut album, Reservoir (out through Jagjaguwar) was nominated for triple j's 'Album of the Year' in 2017.    “Jack and I talked about collaborating when we were lying on the floor of the living room in my apartment listening to music at 5am. The next day he sent me this song titled ‘Piano Man’. It had the beautiful piano part you hear in the song and it made me so sad. So I wrote a sad story to go with it about feeling nothing and called it ‘Indifferent’.”  - Gordi ‘INDIFFERENT’ follows Willaris’ last release, the A and B-side record ‘5 O’CLOCK’ - which was recently selected as the feature track for the UEFA Champions League recap commercial, airing across BT Sports TV channels internationally as well as online and mobile platforms, and its ambient counterpart ‘PAST LIGHT’, which is a testament to Willaris’ textural sound and early days collecting field recordings in Australia. Earlier this month, Willaris released a collection of atmospheric remixes of ‘5 O’CLOCK’ from rising electronica artists TSHA, Ghost Culture and Juno Mamba – listen here. The 2019/20 Australian Summer has already seen Willaris. K perform to packed-out dance tents at major festivals including Wildlands, Beyond The Valley, Output Super Club, Origin Fields and Castaway, after supporting RÜFÜS DU SOL on their SOLACE World Tour. In light of the recent bushfires in Australia, Willaris is playing a benefit show at Melbourne’s Seaworks on Sunday 9 February, where he will be waiving performance fees and donating all merch proceeds to the Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities.  ‘INDIFFERENT’ sees Willaris.

Credit: Ivana Martyn-Zyznikow In the lead up to his much-anticipated appearance on Eurovision: Australia Decides on February 8th, Didirri has kicked off the new year with new single and video for "Raw Stuff", and announces a run of tour dates starting in April, and taking the Melbourne songwriter up and down the East Coast of Australia through to May. True to its name, "Raw Stuff" captures an unspoken, universal experience. It’s a song about a time when two people that, despite the closeness, are unable to open up to each other. Fortunately, the story and the song both find a resolution: "For the first time in my life, I was skipping Christmas. I was feeling very, very guilty about it. My passion for creative work had taken over too much of my life, so there I was, on the other side of the planet." Didirri says. "Though I was pursuing my creative goals, I was far from my family and friends. It was difficult to open up to someone I cared about back home. I couldn’t explain the mixed bag of emotions that was weighing me down so I gave up on the song quickly. It didn’t feel finished. Two years later I’m in the studio… the phone rings and it’s the person I had felt cut off from that year I skipped Christmas. They said they had felt the same, and had found it hard to open up as well. And that they were skipping Christmas this year. I instantly remembered the half-written song I never finished, and suddenly it all made sense. Part two. Raw Stuff instantly falls into two parts. The first half is my side of miscommunication, and the second my reaction to hearing they felt the same." Raw Stuff was written and later recorded in Johanna, Victoria. In November, Didirri was drawn to return to the same space once more to shoot the music video. The stunning landscape around the house, provides a poignant depiction of the beauty of nature, the complexity of returning home, and the rawness we feel when landscapes and relationships once familiar are no longer the same. "As we all watched our beautiful landscapes around Johanna, the sister towns not that far away were burning a few weeks after in December.   To hear of so many people losing their homes, of lives lost (both people and animals) broke our hearts while editing. We found that the more we went on, the more of that landscape needed to be included." Produced by Dann Hume and Hayden Calnin, "Raw Stuff" will be available on digital platforms from today, Thursday January 30th via UNIFIED, and will be performed live on the SBS broadcast of Eurovision: Australia Decides on Feb 8th. "Raw Stuff" TOUR - Australia Thursday 16th April - Lansdowne, Sydney NSW Friday 17th April - Small Ballroom, Newcastle NSW Friday 24th April - Lighthouse Theatre, Warrnambool VIC Sunday 26th April - Howler, Melbourne VIC Thursday 30th April - The Foundry, Brisbane QLD Friday 1st May - Kingscliff Hotel, Kingscliff NSW Tickets on sale now from didirri.com "Raw Stuff" TOUR – North America March 14 - 22, SXSW, Austin, TX March 24 - The Bootleg, Los Angeles, CA March 26 - Baby’s All Right, New York, NY March 27 - The Drake, Toronto, ON Bio: Holding true to his mission to make music for ‘Lovers & Overthinkers’, Didirri’s song-writing approaches complex thoughts and feelings with charm and raw power - captivating listeners, magnifying important issues and engaging crowds to feel, move, think, heal and singalong. After releasing his debut EP "Measurements" just last year, Didirri has had a massive 12 months. From a collective 30 million streams, to playing Splendour In The Grass, to having 4x singles added to triple j rotation, to packing his bag and touring the US and UK twice in under 6 months. As well as playing The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, Latitude Festival in Suffolk, and Primavera Sounds in Barcelona, Didirri also played a series of shows across Europe only to return home to sell out multiple tours across Australia, including 170 Russell, and 2x Corner Hotel shows which he filmed and recorded for an intimate Live EP. The achievements are impressive and humbling, and ultimately highlight that no matter the language, the location, the age, on a small stage or large, there’s something about Didirri’s music that connects with people in a really special way. His lyrics open the door usher you into his mind, connecting with listeners on a level rarely seen in modern music. The connection is honest, it’s real, it’s an invitation. Connect with Didirri:

Two years later I’m in the studio… the phone rings and it’s the person I had felt cut off from that year I skipped Christmas. They said they had felt the same, and had found it hard to open up as well. And that they were skipping Christmas this year.
I instantly remembered the half-written song I never finished, and suddenly it all made sense. Part two.
Raw Stuff instantly falls into two parts. The first half is my side of miscommunication, and the second my reaction to hearing they felt the same.”
Raw Stuff was written and later recorded in Johanna, Victoria. In November, Didirri was drawn to return to the same space once more to shoot the music video. The stunning landscape around the house, provides a poignant depiction of the beauty of nature, the complexity of returning home, and the rawness we feel when landscapes and relationships once familiar are no longer the same.

“As we all watched our beautiful landscapes around Johanna, the sister towns not that far away were burning a few weeks after in December.

To hear of so many people losing their homes, of lives lost (both people and animals) broke our hearts while editing. We found that the more we went on, the more of that landscape needed to be included.”

Produced by Dann Hume and Hayden Calnin, “Raw Stuff” will be available on digital platforms from today, Thursday January 30th via UNIFIED, and will be performed live on the SBS broadcast of Eurovision: Australia Decides on Feb 8th.

Bio:

Holding true to his mission to make music for ‘Lovers & Overthinkers’, Didirri’s song-writing approaches complex thoughts and feelings with charm and raw power – captivating listeners, magnifying important issues and engaging crowds to feel, move, think, heal and singalong.

After releasing his debut EP “Measurements” just last year, Didirri has had a massive 12 months. From a collective 30 million streams, to playing Splendour In The Grass, to having 4x singles added to triple j rotation, to packing his bag and touring the US and UK twice in under 6 months.
As well as playing The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, Latitude Festival in Suffolk, and Primavera Sounds in Barcelona, Didirri also played a series of shows across Europe only to return home to sell out multiple tours across Australia, including 170 Russell, and 2x Corner Hotel shows which he filmed and recorded for an intimate Live EP.
The achievements are impressive and humbling, and ultimately highlight that no matter the language, the location, the age, on a small stage or large, there’s something about Didirri’s music that connects with people in a really special way. His lyrics open the door usher you into his mind, connecting with listeners on a level rarely seen in modern music. The connection is honest, it’s real, it’s an invitation.

Loveland Festival has just announced a massive lineup for 2020. On August 8th and 9th the Amsterdam-based festival will once set up camp at the stunning Sloterpark. For their 25th anniversary Loveland plans a 4-star hotel takeover with exclusive afterparties, rooftop BBQ, hangover breakfast and more. Over 75 artists will make their way to Amsterdam in August for what is shaping up to be a huge 25th anniversary year for the long-running promoter. Since day one the stunning Sloterpark in the Dutch capital serves as a stunning backdrop for the 2-day festival weekender. Ever since 1995, the driving force behind the Loveland organisation has been the endless love for quality house and techno music. In 2020 this still serves as a guiding principle when it comes to the artist lineup. The well-balanced lineup features leading global artists such as Diynamic head honcho Solomun, Afterlife founders Tale Of Us, Detroit legend Jeff Mills and the highly praised Dixon. Making his comeback at Loveland Festival is the illustrious Eric Prydz. Joining the list of headliners are UK-ace Jamie Jones, widely respected duo Adriatique, seasoned veteran Richie Hawtin, the charismatic Loco Dice and hard hitters like Chris Liebing, Rødhåd and Dave Clarke. Fans of a more melodic, progressive sound can indulge themselves with the return of Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Guy J, Guy Mantzur together with Dutchies Miss Melera and Olivier Weiter. There is no shortage of Dutch powerhouses with pioneers Speedy J, Joris Voorn and Secret Cinema. Representing the new generation are Egbert, VNTM and Ferro. Fueled by the love for music, the festival has a long history of quality live performances. Stephan Bodzin, Agents of Time, Mathew Jonson, Kollektiv Turmstrasse and Booka Shade will be on live act duties in 2020. To top it all off Kevin Saunderson’s Inner City will take the stage for some big fun with a special live performance.  Over the 25-year history, many artists grew to be long-time fan favorites at Loveland. The likes of Sébastien Léger, Aril Brikha, Arjuna Schiks, Remy, Dimitri, Michel de Hey, Melon, Vince Watson and Benny Rodrigues to name just a few. One stage will be dedicated to all of Loveland’s legacy artists. On Saturday this will be a live-only stage and on Sunday it’s strictly back-to-back sets. As a special surprise, Loveland announced this week that it will take over a 4-star hotel during the festival weekend. Nestled right in between the old Amsterdam city center and the festival grounds, overlooking the green oasis of Sloterpark, the hotel offers spacious rooms fitted with all modern conveniences, a rooftop Skybar with a panoramic view of Amsterdam. The hotel package offers an experience of Loveland Festival like never before.  Visitors can add to the fun with alluring upgrades like a Rooftop BBQ, hangover breakfast and exclusive afterparties or really hit it out of the park with the all-in Golden Package including 2-day backstage access for the festival. Single day and Weekend tickets for the festival are on sale, as are the hotel packages. For the full lineup of Loveland Festival, tickets and more information, visit www.loveland.nl.

K.Flay)' HERE and stream the full record NOW.  Working alongside best mate and producer James Tidswell (Violent Soho), engineer Mitch Kenny, producer/songwriter Miro Mackie and mixer Mike Green, Hurry Up And Wait marks a new chapter for the band. Featuring the previously released singles ‘Crazy’ and ‘No Plans’, both of which received full rotations adds on triple J, Hurry Up And Wait is Dune Rats’ cleanest and most mature release to date, seeing the trio evolve while also honing their beloved brand of raucous, anthemic 90s skate-punk. And while they might write about new life experiences and exploring new musical styles - they can’t just be that 'Scott Green' band forever - the band proves just as tongue-in-cheek and down-to-earth as ever. Above all, Dune Rats are just always trying to keep it real, no matter where they are in life.  Of the album, drummer and backing vocalist BC Michaels says: “This is our favourite album we’ve ever made. It took a few years to get it together but we got to go to a bunch of cool places and we are super proud of it. We’d be stoked if other people like it as much as us”.  The bands’ third record is their first since the breakthrough success of their 2017 record, The Kids Will Know It’s Bullshit, which landed four singles in triple J’s Hottest 100 between 2016 and 2017, debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts, was nominated for ‘Best Rock Album’ at the ARIAs and saw the trio taking their explosive live show to larger and larger crowds at sold-out headline shows around the world and at home with headline slots at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Laneway Festival and more.  Fans will get the chance to see Hurry Up and Wait performed live for the first time when Dune Rats embark on their national album tour, starting on February 29 in Adelaide, before moving on to Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Joined by a stacked cast of supports, including the endlessly witty and charming Ruby Fields, Australian grunge figureheads Dear Seattle and Wollongong-based three-piece TOTTY, the Hurry Up And Wait tour is sure to up the ante on the band’s previous tours, bringing their infamous party vibes, crazy antics and communal atmosphere - but on a bigger scale than ever before.

Originating from Ghana, West Africa, iiiConic is best known for his track ‘Plans’ which has picked up more than 180k total streams.    Changes to the upcoming tour which set to take place this February and March have also been announced as a result of unforeseeable routing and itinerary clashes.

Joining NLE Choppa and Famous Dex at their Sydney and Melbourne shows will be Melbourne-raised Eco$ystem and Parisian-born Lil Jaye. No strangers to the limelight, both rappers featured on Juice WRLD’s last ever tour. Lil Jaye has also previously opened for the likes of Lil Mosey and Xavier Wulf.

Brisbane-based hip hop artist iiiConic will be jumping on to support both Brisbane and Sydney shows. Originating from Ghana, West Africa, iiiConic is best known for his track ‘Plans’ which has picked up more than 180k total streams.

Changes to the upcoming tour which set to take place this February and March have also been announced as a result of unforeseeable routing and itinerary clashes.

The Sydney performance will now take place at Sydney’s Metro Theatre (previously booked for Enmore Theatre) on the same date, and will now welcome an all ages audience.  Existing tickets for the Enmore Theatre show will remain valid for the new venue – no further action is required, ticket holders can simply show up to the Metro Theatre on Tuesday 25 February with their ticket in hand. Ticketholders unable to attend the event at the new venue or with any further ticketing enquiries can contact Ticketek here or by calling 132 849.

The Melbourne show initially scheduled for Friday 28 February will now take place on Thursday 27 February at 170 Russell (previously The Forum). Existing tickets for The Forum show will remain valid for the new date and venue – no further action is required, ticketholders can simply show up to 170 Russell on Thursday 27 February with their ticket in hand. Ticketholders unable to attend the event due to the new date or with any further ticketing enquiries can contact Ticketmaster here or by calling 13 61 00.

We regret to advise that due to unforeseeable routing and itinerary clashes, unfortunately the Perth show scheduled for Friday 21 February at The Metropolis has been cancelled. Oztix will contact ticketholders directly and the card used to purchase the tickets will be automatically refunded. Ticketholders with  any further enquiries can contact Oztix here or by calling 1300 762 545.

NLE Choppa and Famous Dex’s Brisbane show remains unaffected and will proceed as scheduled.

Don’t miss out on tickets to NLE Choppa and Famous Dex’s Australia co-headline tour, general admission tickets for Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane shows are now available from $59.90.
