Following their recent single ‘Crazy‘, Dune Rats are thrilled to announce their Hurry Up And Wait Australian album tour. Starting in Feb 29 2020 in Adelaide, the tour will be heading to Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne with a stacked line up of supports including Ruby Fields, Dear Seattle, and Totty. See full dates and details below.
Known for always bringing the party and upping the ante on their shows (they once rode motorbikes onto stage at Splendour and backed that up the following year with a huge Dunies & Friends star-studded monster set), there’s no doubt the band are hatching plans to make this bigger and crazier than ever.
Australian singer-songwriter and sometimes breakfast radio-host, Ruby Fields joins the special list of supports. Known for her indistinguishable wit and attitude, she brings tracks ‘I Want’, ‘Dinosaurs’ and ‘P Plates’ to the stage along with Dear Seattle. Recognised as figureheads of Australia’s grunge resurgence with songs such as ‘The Meadows’, and ‘Afterthought, Dear Seattle promise a vibrant, high-impact live performance.
Wollongong-based three-piece band, TOTTY will be the final band joining the tour. Previously supporting the likes of Skeggs, Hockey Dad and Slowly Slowly, the trio bring along with them their muddy guitars and sing-along anthems (see ‘Lucky’ and ‘SIGH’).
Out Jan 31 on Ratbag Records / BMG, the bands forthcoming third album Hurry Up And Wait is a nod to the stop-start nature of life on the road and gives a hint of the wild ride Dune Rats have experienced following the success of their breakthrough 2017 record The Kids Will Know It’s Bullshit, which landed four singles in triple J’s Hottest 100 between 2016 and 2017,
Working alongside producer James Tidswell (Violent Soho), engineer Mitch Kenny, producer/songwriter Miro Mackie and mixer Mike Green, Hurry Up And Wait marks a new chapter for the band with their most refined release to date whilst also maintaining their tongue-in-cheek and down-to-earth charm.

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.
