The last 12 months have seen Perth’s Tired Lion begin to stand out as one of Western Australia’s most exciting new bands – including showcasing at Singapore’s prestigious Music Matters Live, wowing crowds at the 2104 WAMI Awards, touring nationally for their debut EP ‘All We Didn’t Know‘, supporting the likes of Gyroscope, The 1975, Kingswood, Luca Brasi, and Velociraptor, and being nominated for ‘the most popular live act’ at the 2014 WAM Awards.
Recorded with Dave Parkin (Emperors, Snowman, Karnivool) in their home town of Perth, the first single off their upcoming second EP is ‘I Don’t Think You Like Me.’
Check out the brand new video clip for the song, pieced together with a collection of recent tour footage.
“We’re all about the raw honesty in the music we make. If you sit back and take in the energy of what we are playing and what it’s all about, it’s a direct view into the looking glass that is collectively our lives – be it happy, sad or confusing. We’re passionate about bringing to people a fresh take on what is a nostalgic sound, keeping the guitars loud and trying to evoke some kind of feeling for the listener with dynamics and melody.“
Tired Lion will be touring extensively this year. You can next catch them at Groovin The Moo in Bunbury this Sunday if you have a ticket, it is long sold out. In May, they have a string of shows supporting British India and Grenadiers, see below for those, and in September will appear on the Poison City Weekender event in Melbourne. They open up the already sold out Corner Hotel show on Saturday 5th September with Iron Chic, The Bennies, Modern Baseball, Self Defense Family and Oslow. Expect more dates to come.
