Royal Headache

Overview

Flailing limbs, diving bodies and general mayhem: these are just a few things you can expect to witness at the forthcoming Royal Headache show at the Imperial Hotel in Sydney. With a reputation for wild live shows at any venue, large or small, the Sydney four-piece is playing a one-off gig to launch their new 7" EP for their undying local fans. Mosh-pit insanity ensues.

These past 12 months have seen Royal Headache garner a huge following, a bit of hate, but mostly praise. Touring with the likes of The Black Keys, The Black Lips and others, they’ve come a long way for a self-managed band who like to do things "on their own terms".

Forming in 2008, the R.I.P. Society outfit released a self-titled album in 2012, a treasure trove of lo-fi punk gems, which received high praise from local and international media. Royal Headache now leads the pack of garage-punk outfits in this new phase of indie rock. Straight Arrows, Daylight Robbery (CHICAGO), Model Citizen and Warm Feelings will also be performing on the evening.
