NEW WAR
Dubbed one of Australia's most exciting acts & best live bands, Melbourne's New War will make a very RARE appearance headlining LO-FI // SCI-FI at the Chippendale Hotel on 19 December - their first Sydney show in over 3 years.

New War's last run of shows included ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror in Altona, Hobart's Mona Foma alongside the Sun Ra Arkestra, shows with the Julie Ruin, HTRK & Liars, as well as a UK tour including appearances at London's Rough Trade & Koko.
Having been holed up writing the follow-up to their widely acclaimed debut on All Tomorrow's Parties' label arm, ATP Recordings, the band will be playing new songs set to be recorded at the end of the year.

AU.RA
“Spaced-out melodies and textures against body-moving rhythms, so the end product comes off like Primal Scream at their most hallucinatory or My Bloody Valentine at their grooviest. It’s impressive stuff” - Stereogum
