Adalita, Mick Harvey, Mick Turner and Marty Brown bring their dark, dreamy rock collective back to the road with a mysterious inner-north gig and fresh single Black & White.
Bleak Squad have dropped a new Melbourne date with a twist as part of their ongoing tour in support of their AMP Award-nominated debut album Strange Love. The supergroup — featuring Adalita (Magic Dirt), Mick Harvey (Bad Seeds/Birthday Party), Mick Turner (Dirty Three) and Marty Brown (Clare Bowditch/Art of Fighting) — will play a secret inner-north venue on Friday 7 August, with the location only revealed on the day of the show.
It’s a limited-capacity, immersive affair promising something a little different from their usual haunts.

Following hot on the heels of festival appearances at Golden Plains and supporting Pulp, the band continue to ride the wave of their excellent debut. Their latest single Black & White captures the moody, atmospheric sound that has quickly made Bleak Squad one of the most intriguing new projects in Australian rock.
This run of shows highlights the supergroup’s rich chemistry and distinctive blend of brooding atmospherics, sharp songwriting and raw live power.
The secret Melbourne show adds an extra layer of excitement, leaning into the kind of adventurous, word-of-mouth energy that feels right at home with the band’s underground roots.
With tickets for the secret show only available to those on the mailing list, fans will need to move fast. Bleak Squad are quietly building something special – a project that honours each member’s legendary history while carving out its own dark, beautiful identity. Catch them while you can.
