Slander Tongue (GERMANY) with special guests Blowers and Handgrenade Hearts play The Espy Basement on Thursday 20th November.

Berlin power-pop group SLANDER TONGUE are ‘Goin’ Down Under’ for their first-ever Australian tour this November, and it’s about time too! With albums out on famed-garage rock labels Alien Snatch Records in Europe, and Slovenly Recordings in the US, fans from around the globe have been snapping up records and packing the clubs for their brand of aggro power-pop with punk sensibilities meshed with full guitar driven 70’s ballroom blitz!

Slander Tongue’s latest album ‘Monochrome’ has continued to draw favourable comparisons to The Plimsouls, Johnny Thunders and The Real Kids, and the band are regular faves on the European festival circuit incl appearances at Get Lost Fest, Sonic Waves and Cosmic Trip. They’ve also shared stages with key like-minded international & local acts incl The Spits, Split System, Drunk Mums, The Judges, Blowers & more.

After what must be their 10,000th voyage to their favourite touring destination (give or take a few), Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball, founding members of the legendary Gomez, return to Australia for another run of unforgettable, up-close-and-personal shows. 

This time, it’s by request.

Calling all fans, Tijuana Lady’s, actually Me, You, Everybody to See The World through the eyes of Ian Ball and Ben Ottewell as they Bring Their Lovin’ Back Here to Australia. 

Expect the best tunes from the best of 25 years of touring to Australia and the best albums Bring It On, Liquid Skin, and beyond all delivered with Ben Ottewell’s unmistakable growl and Ian Ball’s melodic brilliance. 

No rules. Just two mates, two guitars, some electronic stuff, and decades of songs that have soundtracked road trips, breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs.

It’ll be intimate and loose, but it’s your chance to hear the songs you love, the way you’ve never heard them before. By request.

Come be a part of Gomez By Request on another grand lap of Australia with two of the best to ever do it. Oh, and they’re bringing Buddy along for the ride.
