Due to popular demand, today, Love Police are thrilled to announce that a second Melbourne show has been added to Big Thief’s 2022 Australian tour, taking place on Thursday 24 November at The Forum with tickets on sale immediately! Across 5 dates, the GRAMMY-nominated band will bring their phenomenal live show to their dedicated fanbases in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, in support of their monumental 20-track album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. With their first Melbourne show now sold out and tickets in Sydney, Perth and Brisbane selling fast, don’t miss your chance to grab tickets while you can. Tickets are on sale now via Love Police. See below for full tour dates and ticket details.
Released via 4AD / Remote Control Records, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You is a sprawling double-LP exploring the deepest elements and possibilities of Big Thief. To truly dig into all that the music of Adrianne Lenker, Max Oleartchik, Buck Meek, and James Krivchenia desired in 2020, the band decided to write and record a rambling account of growth as individuals, musicians, and chosen family over 4 distinct recording sessions. In Upstate New York, Topanga Canyon, The Rocky Mountains, and Tucson, Arizona, Big Thief spent 5 months in creation and came out with 45 completed songs. The most resonant of this material was edited down into the 20 tracks that make up DNWMIBIY, a fluid and adventurous listen. The album was produced by Krivchenia who initially pitched the recording concept for DNWMIBIY back in late 2019 with the goal of encapsulating the many different aspects of Adrianne’s songwriting and the band onto a single record.
The attempt to capture something deeper, wider, and full of mystery, points to the inherent spirit of Big Thief. Traces of this open-hearted, non-dogmatic faith can be felt through previous albums, but here on Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You lives the strongest testament to its existence.
With a discography already littered with masterpieces including 2020’s U.F.O.F. & Two Hands, 2017’s Capacity and 2016’s Masterpiece, Big Thief are a must-see band of our generation.

“One of the US’s best bands.” – The Guardian
“Instantly satisfying, but its charms and mysteries will resound for years.” – Uncut, 9/10

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.
