HUSKY Release New Single And Announce National Tour Dates
Melbourne indie-pop duo HUSKY have released a new single Late Night Store and announced their first national headline tour since 2014!
Late Night Store is the first single from HUSKY’s forthcoming album. The new track is an energetic and groovy number filled with prominent guitar, fast paced keys, and catchy melodies. There is also an element of the surreal in the new track, a characteristic element of Husky sounds.
Lead vocalist and guitarist Husky Gawenda candidly explains, “Late Night Store came about through lots of drinking and confusion and heart ache and longing and ecstasy…all in the one night.”

HÆLOS Announce Debut Aussie Gigs
British electronica trio HÆLOS have announced two headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne as part of their tour for their debut album ‘Full Circle’.
The outfit’s debut album, released in March, defined their sound as ominous and enchanting – reminiscent of melancholic gods London Grammar, but with heavier electronics and faster pace.
HÆLOS will be touring with Melbourne-based producers Yeo and Christopher Port, as well as Sydney artist BUOY (who you’ll most likely recognised from this year’s banger Clouds & Rain). Although two gigs doesn’t quite equate to a national tour, we’ll take what we can get! If you can’t make it to Sydney or Melbourne, you can also catch HÆLOS at Falls Festival in Lorne and Byron Bay.
