Award-winning RVG frontwoman Romy Vager announces intimate Northcote Social Club show to preview new album.

Vager debuted some of this new material while supporting Sharon Van Etten at the Forum back in November, but this Northcote show will be the first time audiences can hear the full scope of the project with a live band behind her.

As the lead singer and principal songwriter of RVG, Vager has built a reputation as one of the country’s sharpest musical minds. The band’s 2023 record Brain Worms took home the Australian Music Prize and the AIR Independent Album of the Year, while also landing a J Award nomination and feature album status across Double J, Triple R, PBS and 2SER.

Years of international touring through the US, UK and Europe have seen Vager open for heavyweights like Pixies, Billy Nomates and Kurt Vile, building a dedicated following well beyond Australian shores.

Support on the night comes from gritty alt-folk artist Milly Strange, who dropped her self-titled debut album back in August, alongside rising folk-rock outfit NoTurns.
