POLICA

Overview

Polica's ethereal melodies, dark lyrics, escapist dancing and double drummers inspired Bon Iver's Justin Vernon to describe them as "the best band in the world". Having won buckets of Sydney love on their first visit, this Minneapolis-based group is returning to play the Opera House for Vivid, with third album United Crushers in hand.

Expect more of their unique blend of drum and bass, hip hop and synth-pop, plus a bigger emphasis on Channy Leaneagh's extraordinary voice. After Vivid, Polica will be heading to Europe to play a stack of festivals, including Germany's Hurricane and Southside, Ireland's Castlepalooza and London's Hyde Park.
