The Electorate launch their new LP By Design, on July 5 with very special guests Rubber Necker and Restless Leg @ Waywards.

The Electorate return to the stage to launch their sophomore LP By Design, out May 30 on Love As Fiction Records. 

Featuring the singles Face of a Giant, Peace Love & Kindness, The Great Divide and Don’t Go Out, the new Electorate LP is a rough and tumble ride through their love of bent pop and glittering melodies. With half of By Design produced by Wayne Connolly (Teskey Brothers/Underground Lovers/Babe Rainbow) and half with Simon Berckelman (Polish Club/Boy+Bear) the new Electorate LP is one that Backseat Mafia have called "majestic and anthemic”, and the AU Review "drawing an arc to the iconic Go-Betweens and their beloved new wave Aussie indie-rock."

By Design is the follow up LP to The Electorate’s 2020 debut and 2SER feature' You Don’t Have Time To Stay Lost’, which Rolling Stone called “A stunning debut….one of the year’s best.” Featuring members of Big Heavy Stuff, The Apartments, Knievel, The Templebears and Atticus, The Electorate bring their best to to the front to launch By Design. 

Rubber Necker have to be seen to be believed. The sounds that come off stage are danceable, warped, and thoroughly entertaining. Initially sold to one member of The Electorate as the Dead Kennedys colliding with the B-52s, the truth is, Rubber Necker defy description, and are a brilliant Sydney secret that won’t stay that way for long. 

Restless Leg very kindly kick the night off with their collision of Flying Nun at CBGB’s sound and fury. Propelled by a driving rhythm section over which Ben Chamie’s songs shine, this is the last show Restless Leg will play in a while, and their last before they tour NZ with their latest brilliant opus, Dance Around My Head.
