Lineup: sleepmakeswaves and Rosetta

sleepmakeswaves guitarist Otto Wicks-Green said of the upcoming trek:

“This band started in small clubs around Australia, and it’s in rooms these size where we honed our live performances. The intimacy, the intensity, the heat. A visceral and immediate live show is heart and soul of this band, so we were very specific in selecting each of these rooms for this tour. Bringing one of our all time favourite bands, Rosetta, with us is the cherry on the cake. We’re stoked to be bringing out one of the most powerful live acts we’ve seen on a tour that is more scaled-down and intimate. Rosetta bring a relentless atmospheric catharsis to their shows, and really fit their description ‘metal for astronauts’. On top of all that, they’re our old friends from tours in 2012 and we can’t wait to see their faces again. These will be special, crushing, intimate performances, so don’t sleep on tickets. Come get heavy with us.”

Rosetta frontman Michael Armine added:

“We are very excited to be returning to Australia in support of our long time friends, sleepmakeswaves. When we last came to Australia five years ago, we played with SMW in a tiny record store in Perth. We couldn’t be more excited to come back and do a whole run together.”
