“It’s been too long, Australia – eight years, to be exact – since we played your glorious country/continent combo! But as Men At Work said, “you better run, you better take cover,” because we’re coming back! Look out for a show near you in March 2025 as part of our Australian Tour 2025. We’ll be good together again!”
Formed in Boston, Lake Street Dive first met while studying jazz at the New England Conservatory of Music. Their breakout album Bad Self Portraits was released in 2014, followed by Side Pony (2016), Free Yourself Up (2018), Obviously (2021), Fun Machine: The Sequel (2022) – a six-track covers EP with songs by Bonnie Raitt, The Pointer Sisters and Carole King, among others – and ten years later their most recent, Good Together (2024). Lake Street Dive have developed a dedicated fan base in Australia and their shows at the Royal Botanic Gardens are set to be special.
They will be joined by Melbourne musician and space enthusiast Batts. Batts is the moniker of Tanya Batt, who just released her third album Just My Luck. Known for blending folk and rock with inspiration drawn from space and literature, she has previously incorporated NASA space mission samples into her music.
