Mongrel tour done 💥🥀

Thank you to all the ~250 people who bought tickets and who rocked up to our shows. A number of times, we were quite overwhelmed by the response. This has been our biggest and most fulfilling tour to date. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who grabbed presale tickets. In these rocky times, presales make so much difference and give confidence to both bands and venues.

Thank you to all the friends and family who put us up while we were on the road and to those who kept us fed and watered! Thanks to the venues, all the people who bought swathes of merch, the amazing soundies we worked with and all the bands that we wrangled together.

We really lucked out and met so many amazing people over the past month. That in itself is such a highlight.

Our ears are still ringing from Euphoria Month night two – and we wouldn’t have it any other way 😌

Also, like, does anyone else just have @second_idol’s whole setlist stuck in their head right now? ‘Cos if so, good news: they’re headlining another, even bigger show next month in support of their (sick as hell) debut album ‘Mongrel’ 😇

That show is going down at The Chippo on Friday March 13th, with a wicked trio of supports: @12.buck, @triptychs_syd and @gvsherband 🔥

Meanwhile, our mates in Naarm can catch @sundreamer_melb at the Bergy Bandroom in exactly two weeks from now (Friday Feb 27th), one day after @sage__screams plays Stay Gold. She’s also headlining a pay-what-you-wish show there next Sunday (Feb 22nd) alongside @motionblur_music and @civiliansau 👊💥

As for us, Euphoria Month continues at the @metro_theatre on Gadigal land next Wednesday (Feb 18th) with @robertbaxtr (VIC), @katie_dey (VIC) and @soyboysucks!!! RSVPs are still open – hit the link in our bio if you’re keen to head along ✨
