Passion Pit 2105 Australian Tour
Just last month Passion Pit released album #3, Kindred (Columbia Records/Sony Music Entertainment Australia). Kindred is the perfect example of Passion Pit’s uplifting blend of indie pop, bursting with twists and turns that leave listeners dizzy with rapture.
Hidden in this euphoria is the contrasting darkness of Angelakos’ lyrics, which touch on themes such as depression and familial strife, proving there is more to Passion Pit’s music than its shiny, upbeat pop exterior suggest...

BANFF ‘Future Self’ Tour
Ethereal layers of spacious, soul-drenched indie-pop – that is the craft of singer-songwriter BANFF, aka Benjamin Forbes. The former frontman of Brisbane group LITTLE CASINO stepped away from the band environment mid-2014 with a thirst to explore new songwriting ground, something he has achieved in spades since releasing singles ‘Stand In Line’ and ‘The Great Unknown’. Australia and the World have listened with the likes of Hilly Dilly declaring “we’ve no doubts he’ll head ...

For his first tour of 2015 Ed Kuepper will again tackle any industry pre-conceptions, this time though, performing a set of largely new ...
