GREAT AUSTRALIAN BANK is a bastardised Australiana / post-punk quartet hailing from Naarm (Melbourne). Drawing inspiration from the likes of The Church, Sonic Youth, Underground Lovers and The Go-Betweens, the band channel a sound that is equal parts angular, melodic and nostalgic.
GREAT AUSTRALIAN BANK have had a blistering year so far, asserting the airwaves with singles ‘In Your Eyes’, ‘What They Did’ and ‘Don’t Call Me’ across 2024 with acclaim from PBS, Three RRR, 4ZZZ, RTRFM, Edge Radio, Australian Music Scene and more.
To celebrate all efforts, the band are launching their debut album ‘To The Dry’ at the Bergy Bandroom for what’s slated to be their biggest show to date. Recorded and produced by Rohan Sforcina (Gold Class, Oh Mercy, Radio Free Alice, Adalita) at Headgap Studios, To The Dry is a stark reflection on personhood in Australia’s oppressive history; articulated with energy and grit.
Joining the festivities are new wave/dreampop champions ADORED, gothic/alt-rock heavies CLOSE IN and gritty post-punk luminaries NO HOPER.
