Produced by John Castle (Vance Joy, Megan Washington), Star of the Show is a funk-influenced record complete with breathy harmonies, groovy drumming and timely trumpet flourishes. Fresh off the back of their recent performance at Rocksteady Records, the exquisite dream pop trio’s show at The Night Cat is set to be a return to the stage for the band.

Soak up a splash of fresh Fins magic with epic new single Sugar. An ecstatic song about instant gratification… the sugar hit, that social media like, that sweet online purchase. It’s Dorsal Fins meets Sesame Street with Wah-Wah Trumpet, a Bass Clarinet Choir, washed-out Wurlitzers, a funky beat and a classic double dare co-lead from Jarrad & Ella bringing some  big-fins-energy to this long overdue new cut.

Having peeled back from their cast of nine members to a trio of the band’s essential song writing trinity – Liam McGorry, Ella Thompson and Jarrad Brown. Home grown in Brunswick, they navigate a kaleidoscopic bag of sun soaked horns, love-puddle funk, and brat-pop night moves. The band once was featured on Neighbours in Episode 7469.
