Following their long-awaited reunion, with the November release of new single Aurora and frenzied headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney in December, Children Collide will charge north this March for headline shows in Brisbane and Maroochydore.
Joined by bassist Chelsea Wheatley who performs as Chela, Children Collide will take to the stage at Maroochydore’s Solbar on Thursday 26 March and Brisbane’s The Foundry on Friday 27 March before they headline El Palmo Pacificano Festival in Forster on Saturday 28 March. They will then venture to the west coast to perform as special guests for POND at Freo.Social on Saturday 4 April.
Returning with a post-punk charge and the unmistakable trademarks of Children Collide, Aurora is a love letter to humanity’s grand illusions.
“I kept listening back to the demo and remembering how much fun it was playing this kind of music,” says vocalist / guitarist Johnny Mackay of the track. “It was originally written for our third album Monument, so it’s felt like unfinished business ever since and a big part of the reason we made another album. In the end if felt like it was burning a hole in my hard drive, so we had to put it out.”
A live phenomenon, Children Collide have performed sets at SXSW, The Great Escape, Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Groovin The Moo and the Big Day Out. They’ve performed countless sold-out headline shows across the nation in addition to dates in London, Paris, LA, New York and Tokyo. Next, joined by bassist Chelsea Wheatley who performs as Chela, Children Collide will take the stage at The Lansdowne on Wednesday 18 December and Howler on Thursday 19 December.
Aurora is the first taste of new music since the twice ARIA-nominated band’s third studio album Monument in 2012. It was another enduringly popular LP, following 2008‘s The Long Now and 2010’s Theory Of Everything, which debuted at #5 on the ARIA album chart and claimed the triple j feature album. Their repertoire includes some of the most well-loved Australian singles of the past decade, a roll call that includes Social Currency, Skeleton Dance, Chosen Armies, Loveless and triple j hottest 100 entries Farewell Rocketship, Jellylegs and My Eagle.

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.
