celebrates Gold and Platinum
accreditation with a
National Tour in 2023

It has been a long time coming for Melbourne’s indie rockers British India and it appears that fans did not desert them during two years of Covid restrictions, with the band having recently been awarded both ARIA Platinum and Gold Record status for their songs I Can Make You Love Me and Suddenly, due to increased streaming during the pandemic.

“For a band that has always felt like outsiders – too nerdy, too abrasive, too badly dressed – hitting milestones like gold and platinum feels so satisfying,” says vocalist/guitarist, Declan Melia.
“I know as indie musicians we’re supposed to act like we don’t care about accolades and industry recognition – but that would be disingenuous. I’m thrilled that so many people enjoy British India. It suggests to me that even when we couldn’t tour through Covid, people still sought out our music. Also, I feel like both of these songs were high water marks of creativity and expression in our songwriting. After we recorded them, we all really felt like we had tapped into something special. But you still never know if anyone other than the band will connect with the music – these plaques show that people did.”
Proudly sponsored by Triple M, British India’s Rolled Gold 2023 tour will kick off on February 10 in Perth and end on May in Brisbane, with all major cities and favourite regional stops set to go off in between.
“It makes us super excited to get on stages again to celebrate these two tracks and all the others in our body of work,” Melia says. “I can’t wait”.

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.
