Very excited to be coming back to Australia for Pandemonium Rocks, our first visit since... a hell of a long time! We’ll be joined by Boston-based Linda Pardee from Orbit and The Chelsea Curve on bass guitar. It’s a great bill to be on, and we can’t wait! 🇦🇺

It’s fantastic to be able to perform again with Sara Lee, a music legend. She last recorded and toured as a lynchpin band member in the 80’s. But when we met again after so long it was as if it had just been a moment in time. A great friend and a wonderful musician.
