Tasmanian space-rock outfit Golden Sunbird are touring the pineapple state, stopping at Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
As part of their mainland tour, they are performing at Greaser, in Fortitude Valley, on August 29, and Mo’s Desert Clubhouse, Burleigh Heads, on September 1.
Get ready for interstellar jams, hypnotic guitar solos, whaling theremins, and synth-soaked walls of sound!
Unconventional electro-duo explore the unknown
Touted as “the most unconventional rock band the universe had ever seen”, Golden Sunbird take inspiration from Pink Floyd, Space, Sun Ra, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Hawkwind.
They are all about soundscapes that explore the parallels between the unknowns of space and the depths of the human subconscious.
As artists, they try to create an alternate sci-fi reality for listeners to escape to. And use a multi-modal approach to achieve alter-egos, costumes, visuals, and creative narratives.
AMRAP’s Cameron Menegoni says Golden Sunbird have “been placed on this Earth to realign your chakras” with “tripped-out pop-rock soundscapes”.
“Languid, dreamy psychedelia like Floyd jamming with Tangerine Dream and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, wafting harmonies on the breeze… Pure immersion!”
About Golden Sunbird
The brainchild of Luke Thomas (pictured), Golden Sunbird is complemented by vocalist Yasmin Thomas.
While Luke writes and records all the music, Yasmin plays theremin and guitar.
The musical pair have been performing for two years around their home state, playing MONA NYE 2023 and Party in the Paddock 2024, which they say are highlights.
Inspired by space, stars and all things sci-fi, they have two EPs, “Golden Sunbird” (2022) and “Outer Worlds/ Inner Landscapes” (2023). This year, they’ve released four singles, including “Cataclysm”, their latest release.
Keep an eye out for this super-fun musical-partnership, as they continue grow their fanbase in Australia, and beyond…
