Spending the last year honing their skills, Des Cortez are a force to be reckoned with. Comprising of high school friends Devlin (drums) Paddy (bass) and Sam (guitar/vocals) the trio developed their unique hazy indie sound in the summer after their year 12 year, cumulating in the release of their debut EP ‘Burn After Listening’ in 2021 that launched them into the Melbourne scene.
Since then, Des Cortez have taken Melbourne by storm, releasing a string of beloved singles and regularly playing in front of huge crowds including a recent sold-out single launch in the Espy’s Gershwin room. The band also frequently support larger acts, such as Agung Mango, Summer Thieves, South Summit and The Rions.
Their live sets have been described as intimate and mesmerising due to their high energy as well as catchy rhythm and melodic sections that reflect the nuance of their recordings.
The Pearl Jam Experience are thrilled to announce their National Tour, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Pearl Jam’s landmark album, VS.
Presented by October Presents, the tour will kick off almost exactly 30 years after the album’s release, and is promising to be a thrilling and unforgettable experience for Pearl Jam fans, both old and new.
Originating in Melbourne, the band has been paying homage to Pearl Jam for over a decade, quickly establishing their authority as the truest representation of the Seattle Hall of Famers.
As part of this celebration, The Pearl Jam Experience will take the audience on a journey through VS. in its entirety including the unforgettable hits, ‘Animal’, ‘Daughter’, and ‘rearviewmirror’, as well as an extended encore of fan favourites.
For any Pearl Jam enthusiast, this show is essential to commemorating such an iconic album, and a golden opportunity to pay tribute to one of the most prominent, and influential bands of the 90’s.
