Shifting the realms of modern, psychedelic country sounds, Lost Ragas are back from a ‘we can’t tee up our busy schedules’ break to announce new live shows. Showcasing tracks from their forthcoming album due for release early 2026, the band will also play some golden nuggets from their back catalogue and, of course, just generally have a really cool time. 

Lost Ragas have become infamous on the Melbourne music scene, and their electrifying live shows are something to behold. The band was born a few years back when Matt Walker was touring a solo recording which he then sought to expand on in live performance. Enter Shane Reilly, on his pedal steel horse he rides. The two crossed paths while playing with Tex Perkins and discovered that in down time on the road they would sit around jamming and writing songs. Both bringing their swag of swagger to the coffee table to produce a full-strength cup with 4 sugars of something entirely new. 

A notable element of the live show is the guitar interplay between the two and the sparks that fly once they hit the stage. On bass is Roger Bergodaz who has been a long-time friend and collaborator of Matt and Shane... Although an in-demand drummer, Roger chose to play bass in this band, and once he placed his note, who could argue? Finally on the tubs there is Haydn Meggitt, who will play a slow burn groove or a white hot stomp while singing cheeky harmonies as sweet as a bird. 

As all members of Lost Ragas individually work with an impressive roster of other bands, it is needless to say that when the planets align and they find themselves on the road together again, it is cause for rejoice.
