The tour will kick off in Perth, making stops in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, offering fans across Australia a chance to witness Underscores’ musical prowess firsthand.
Drawing from her 2023 album Wallsocket and earlier works like Fishmonger and Skin Purifying Treatment, Underscores will showcase a diverse range of genres, including hyperpop, pop punk, and electroclash, demonstrating her versatility as an artist.
“When people listen to underscores, I want their initial reaction to be, ‘This is ridiculous.’ But the more they listen to it, they should hear the nuance in it, the heaviness in it, and I hope they connect with it on some kind of emotional level. The ultimate goal is to turn people off, then win them back,” says the artist.
The allure of Underscores’ music lies in its ability to push boundaries and forge emotional connections with listeners. Her live performances are not just concerts but immersive experiences where audiences are transported into a world of vibrant colours and infectious beats.
Undoubtedly, Underscores’ debut tour in Australia is poised to be a highlight for music enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the cutting-edge sounds and captivating storytelling that have earned her a dedicated following worldwide.
With each show promising a blend of innovation, passion, and pure musical talent, Underscores is set to leave a lasting impression on Australian audiences as she continues to redefine the boundaries of contemporary music.
