Touring Australia for the first time as part of Laneway Festival, Canadian four piece Austra are thrilled to announce they will be playing two sideshows at The Northcote Social Club in Melbourne on Thursday 2 February, followed by Thursday 9 February at The Basement in Sydney.
Embracing the esoteric, Austra combine soaring neo-operatic vocals and multifaceted electro-pop soundscapes with a firm new wave sensibility. Austra’s classically trained lead singer Katie Stelmanis sums it up best; “I wanted to make classical music with really fucked up, distorted crazy sh it on there.”
