Canadian indie band Men I Trust have just announced an Australian tour, with shows at Melbourne’s 170 Russell, Sydney’s Metro Theatre and Brisbane’s The Triffid.
Men I Trust have announced an Australian tour for March 2023 with live shows at Melbourne’s 170 Russell on March 17, Sydney’s Metro Theatre on March 21 and Brisbane’s The Triffid on March 23.
The story of Men I Trust’s rise to indie fame is a bit more abnormal than most. The group initially started without their lead singer when in 2014 keyboardist Dragos Chiriac and bassist-guitarist Jessy Caron – both Quebec music graduates and high school friends – reunited after college and came together to form a duo named Men I Trust.

Their music was heavily inspired by the electronic movement of the 2000s. If you take, for example, a song from their self-titled 2014 debut like Endless Strive and compare it to their most recent output you immediately hear the difference in their approach to production. The programmed robotic electronic drums alongside these boisterous synthesizers give you a closer look into how the duo looked at song creation.
The basics were all there, the dance-inducing, funkiness and soothing demeanour coupled with great vocal performances by frequent guest collaborators, offered a range of different song types. Sometime between June of that year and March of the next, Emma was asked to join the band as their official and full-time singer, and in early March of 2016, they released their first single as Humming Man.
“We are excited to announce that we will be touring in New Zealand & Australia in March of 2023,” the band said. “Thank you for your ongoing support and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone again in real life.”
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 3pm November 17. For complete tour and ticket information, visit: livenation.com.au
