The Grogans are kicking off their Stagger album tour this August at iconic venues across Australia including Metro Theatre, The Tivoli, 170 Russell and more with a hometown U18s show at Naarm’s Northcote Social Club, before they jet over to the states for an East Coast US Tour in October. Joined by Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys for the whole tour, the shows will feature local supports across different cities from indie-pop rock outfit Jet City Sports Club, alt-rockers Platonic Sex, and South Australian garage band Ethanol Blend.

Capturing the magnetic energy of their live shows, Stagger touches on themes of mental health, taking care of yourself and your loved ones, the occasional love song, and more. As the catchy chorus first single and album opener ‘Oh Boy’ leads into sonic powerhouse of a tune ‘Come Up (Goes Down)’, ‘In My Heart’ slows it down to a new easy listening direction, followed by ‘Have a Little Dream’ – as dreamy as the title suggests – and the big open echoed instrumentation of ‘Once In A While’. Adding new textural effects in ‘Roll Back’ and last single ‘Roundabout’, ‘Happier Man’ dips into a heavier psych realm with a reminder that “striving to be a better and happier person should be a goal for everyone.” ‘Worry About Everything’ is an upbeat tune sure to have you worrying about nothing, and feel good album closer ‘All My Days’ ends on a more serious note that outlines the beauty and the beast of live music and the personal struggles that come with the lifestyle and touring.
