WATCH THE TOUR ANNOUNCE TRAILER
Headlining the second of two Brisbane events are alternative rock icons …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead (USA), returning to Australia for the first time in over a decade.
The evening kicks off at 7pm and showcases a dynamic lineup from the Bird’s Robe family. SEIMS will tour in support of their latest record ‘5’. Featuring the multi-instrumental talents of Simeon Bartholomew (Birdman, sleepmakeswaves, Captain Kickarse and the Awesomes) and the drumming talents of Plini drummer Chris Allison. The show features the long-awaited return of Zappa/Bungle infused sextet Shanghai, and the lush soundscapes of local duo the sea shall not have them.
The celebration coincides with the release of the Bird’s Robe documentary series, which premiered its first episode in July, with new episodes dropping fortnightly from July through December.
Bird’s Robe has long been a launchpad for some of Australia’s most acclaimed post-rock and progressive artists, including sleepmakeswaves, We Lost The Sea, Closure in Moscow, Toehider, Meniscus, The Crooked Fiddle Band, Troldhaugen, and Solkyri, among others.
Across its 15-year journey, the label has promoted more than 1,500 live shows and released over 200 records, including five ARIA-nominated albums and seven #1 releases on the Australian Independent Charts. Its catalogue has collectively amassed over 50 million streams, underscoring the label’s impact both locally and internationally.
Director Mike Solo says:
Ten years ago, on Saturday 5 December in 2015, a bunch of bands playing post-rock, prog, metal and alternative rock got together at Manning Bar in Sydney, Australia to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Bird’s Robe Records. It was awesome.
Since then, we’ve crossed the globe many more times, survived a global pandemic and come out the other side with even more talent to showcase from our little niche. So please join us to relive the memories, create new ones & celebrate an epic ride of prog, post rock, and otherwise innovative music with our friends & family.
If you’ve never had the chance to see some of these bands, we hope our efforts to bring them all together in the one place make for a worthy day/night of entertainment.
Enjoy!
