BLEAK SQUAD AT HER MAJ

Off the back of their debut album being shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize, Bleak Squad are touring regionally and bringing their noir-rock sounds to Ballarat this February.

Bleak Squad is a new Melbourne four-piece comprised of true Australian art-rock royalty. Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque) Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), the unlikely quartet unite for the first time on Bleak Squad's brooding debut LP, Strange Love.


'They should not be missed live: four Australian music greats with charisma to burn, uncanny chemistry, and a quality set of songs tailor-made for those long, dark nights of the soul.'

— The Guardian
