Secret Sounds is thrilled to announce that Father John Misty is extending his stay down under in 2018. Already set to grace stages at Laneway festivals around the country, FJM will also play dates in Sydney and Melbourne.
One of Australia’s most distinctive performers, Jack Ladder, will also take to the stage, backed by his band The Dreamlanders (Kirin J. Callinan, Donny Benet and Laurence Pike). A master at marrying exceptional songwriting with an ever widening sonic pallet and a one of a kind baritone voice, expect to hear old faves and new tracks from his fifth album, set for release in early 2018.

Passionate and disillusioned, cynical and openhearted – traits that, coupled with a killer set of pipes, have seen Father John Misty AKA Josh Tillman cemented as a singular and totally distinctive voice since the release of his 2012 album Fear Fun.
He dropped his second album in 2015, the critically acclaimed I Love You, Honeybear catapulting his star to new heights.
Tillman comes to Australia armed with his latest record, Pure Comedy. The album sees FJM at the top of his game and is an odyssey through which he navigates themes of progress, technology, fame, the environment, politics, social media, human nature and his own role in it all with his usual frankness.
FJM wrote Pure Comedy throughout 2015, recording the vocals and basic tracking live to tape and in no more than two takes each. The record is the ultimate insight into Tillman’s mind, admitting to Pitchfork “If you take away my music from me, all you have left is a moustache and a bad attitude.”
After captivating crowds around the world this year at the likes of Glastonbury and Coachella, he also held the punters of Splendour in the Grass in his emotional grip…literally. He got down off that stage and hugged fans amidst a truly spectacular show. The love didn’t stop there, with tickets to his Splendour sideshows selling out in no time at all.
With a reputation like this, tickets won’t last long. Don’t miss your chance for an audience (and perhaps a holy embrace) with Father John Misty this summer!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
