Newcastle post-punk outfit Trophy Eyes will head out on the road later this year for an Australian regional tour, accompanied by their Sydney mates Dear Seattle. The two bands will be on tour across October and November, starting the run up in Cairns on Wednesday, 11th October, and ending exactly a month later at This That Festival in Newcastle.
Trophy Eyes recently wrapped up a national tour in support of their new album Suicide and Sunshine, the follow-up to 2019’s The American Dream. “It’s the tragedy and the beauty of life,” frontman John Floreani shared in a statement about the title of the album. “When we did [2016 album] Chemical Miracle, our second full-length, the logo for the album was a palm tree and a noose.
Trophy Eyes: ‘People Like You’
“That’s literally suicide and sunshine. It’s always been there on my mind. And I think I finally just phonetically set it out. That encompasses everything I’ve been trying to do my entire career.”
Dear Seattle released their second album Someday in September 2022. In a piece for Music Feeds last year, the band said they’d focused much more on the meaning of songs, rather than opting for “surface level hooks”.
“We still love [debut] Don’t Let Go, but I think it left us craving songwriting that tackled more substantial concepts,” vocalist and guitarist Brae Fisher reflected. “We wanted people to feel like they could find something new that they loved about a track every time they heard it.”
The band have since followed it up with single ‘Nothing’s Stopping Me Now’.
