After a groundbreaking year for Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird, the 'bird is gearing up for an even bigger 2020, and today are announcing their Summer Tour.

2019 saw the release of the Melburnian quintet's standout singles 'Joy', 'Hot Pink' and 'Best Face to London', as well as their acclaimed sophomore album New Romancer. They toured the UK and Ireland, playing sold out shows in London, as well as performing at The Great Escape Festival (Brighton, UK), and around Australia – twice.

Currently sitting at #65 on the US NACC college radio charts, the Melbourne exponents of Indie art-pop will end 2019 at Falls Festival in Byron Bay on NYE, followed up by a triumphant Australian Summer Tour to share the love, and farewell New Romancer, before heading to Austin, Texas – where they have been invited to play at the music world's premiere global showcase, SXSW!

Lachlan Rose, the band's songwriter and frontman says, "the momentum and ethos of Cousin Tony is only growing stronger and more joyous and we’re stoked to be along for the ride. The conversations and experiences we’ve had touring New Romancer have been truly beautiful. Gonzo, Rick, Pete, Matt and I cant wait for the next tour and onwards to SXSW. Happy days."

Hailing from the infamously fertile musical landscape of Perth, Western Australia VERGE COLLECTION expertly balance classic pop sensibilities and working class poetry to channel the collective conscious of suburban Australian milennials.

Songwriter and front-man Ben Arnold wears an influence on his sleeve like a badge of honour, taking cues from classic songwriters like Reed, Young, Dylan and Bowie, and putting a refreshingly Australian spin on a familiar brand of spirited and earnest pop in the same vein as Kelly, McLennon and more recently, Barnett have done before him. The result is charming, witty and effortlessly catchy.

His songs have the ability to hoist you high to the point of chills and a stupid grin, before making you plummet just as quickly into an existential nosedive.

Last in the country supporting Aussie favourites Dune Rats, the four piece will also make their Australian festival debut in March 2020 with appearances at Farmer + The Owl and Panama Festival, where they will be serving up a blistering, reckless sound that you definitely won't want to miss seeing live this summer.

Australia’s pop golden star-risers, Pinkish Blu and Egoism, are teaming up on an Australian tour to celebrate new music!

It is no surprise that Pinkish Blu are back with music that is something special, it’s been a running theme so far with the three tracks gracing our ears over the past year and a bit. With layered vocals, ear worm hooks and life affirming lyrics, ‘Coupon’ is a buoyant, uplifting track that soars over rising 80s synths. After only playing a handful of shows, the four piece shared the stage with acts such as GFlip, Last Dinosaurs, The Rubens, Trophy Eyes, Kingswood, Delta Riggs, and WAAX.

Alongside Pinkish Blu, Sydney sweethearts Egoism are touring on the back of their single ‘What Are We Doing?’ which saw the band win their second add to rotation on Triple J, New Music Friday’s playlisting and Unearthed Feature Artist. Egoism have been sharing stages with Last Dinosaurs, Moaning Lisa, Johnny Hunter, Cry Club, Bec Sandridge, These New South Whales among many others.

Catch the wholesome group of friends on tour this Feb/ March!
