Pond

Overview

There's something in the water over in Western Australia, with the state producing a myriad of quality bands of the psych-rock genre over the past couple of years. Hailing from Perth, Pond are the latest outfit to make waves in the Australian music landscape.

The five-piece are currently touring off the back of their fourth album, Beard, Wives, Denim, and have gradually made a name for themselves nationally and internationally, playing Austin's SXSW and touring extensively around Europe. NME even named them the "hottest new band in the world".

Pond began as a collaborative project between musicians from Tame Impala, The Silents, Mink Mussel Creek and more. Led by the charismatic and Jagger-esque frontman, Nick Allbrook, their live shows are notably looser and a little more inebriated than your usual psych-rock show, performing with more people on stage and with a more electrifying presence.

Sydney solo artist Melodie Nelson and indie-pop outfit Day Ravies will be taking on supporting duties for the evening.
