A screaming wave of bright colours, verbose wordplay and athletically wacky stage antics falls upon the Leadbeater Hotel on August 18th as Tracksuit Larry continue their first lap through the Naarm/Melbourne music scene.

The quartet of rock-funkers formed in 2021 out of a mutual love for complex-but-fun rhythms, a mutual respect for silly-but-deep lyrics and a mutual base desire for durable-but-breathable nylon blends. Think Vulfpeck meets the Arctic Monkeys at a jazz comedy festival.

The band takes its name from a fascinating character sporting a tracksuit, who was spotted stumbling into a Subway restaurant by lead guitarist Ed many years ago. But make no mistake - where the namesake is a soggy honey oat meatball type, this band is a full footlong italian-herbs-and-cheese packed to bursting with jalapeňos, daring you to take a bite.
