The Arnhem Land six-piece will be starting in Victoria for shows at Castlemaine’s Theatre Royal, Frankston’s Pier Bandroom and Torquay Hotel on the Surf Coast, before venturing through New South Wales, Queensland, ACT and home to the territory to close out August.

In exciting news, Jem Cassar-Daley will be supporting the group around the country. The tour is a chance to see the bands new music, singles ‘Through The Trees’ and the forthcoming ‘Best Bits’, as well as reliving their 2022 self-titled debut album. The two tracks are a taste of their upcoming album, which the band have been teasing on socials.

“‘Best Bits’ is a song about all the best parts of life all poured into one moment”, King Stingray share. “Inspired by a particular moment in time, a particular day that had all the right ingredients. It’s about those ripper-of-a-day type moments, those warm days in the sunshine with your mates, with your family or a loved one. The memorable days that just seem to stick with you.”

“It’s about simple living in a complex digital world, and although it can be hard to articulate in just a few words, a feeling that is so massive and profound. Sometimes all the best bits of life are already all around us! Yo manymak!”
