Brisbane’s favourite indie rock gems SWEATER CURSE promise to send off their impressive 2018 the right way, having scored a slot on the Falls Festival lineup in Lorne, Victoria. The addition will see SWEATER CURSE join internationally acclaimed acts such as Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Interpol, and CHVRCHES to ring in the New Year.
Next year will see the band release their highly-anticipated debut EP ‘See You’ on March 1st, followed by an appearance at Farmer & The Owl Festival before heading out on a national tour with The Smith Street Band, where SWEATER CURSE will play some of their largest venues yet.

“2018 has been seriously amazing for us and we can’t think of a better way to finish it off than playing the legendary Falls Festival at Lorne,” Sweater Curse say. “Better yet, our first tour of 2019 is playing with the legendary legends The Smith Street Band! We are so excited and thankful for all the opportunities given to us!”

Since the single’s release, ‘Mon’s Song’ has gained attention across the country, with its premiere on Triple J’s Good Nights, video premiere on Unearthed, and continued airplay across community radio nationwide including 4ZZZ, FBi, RTR, Edge Radio, and Radio Adelaide.

Unabashedly dorks SWEATER CURSE came together quickly when members Chris, Rei and Monica started captivating Brisbane’s local scene with their charm and evocative, jangly melodies. Writing songs that have been described as ‘slightly depressing but still groovy’ and ‘introspective, slightly sparkly indie-rock’ the band carved out a niche for themselves with a throwback feel.
It didn’t take long for SWEATER CURSE to catch on. With only two tracks to their name in 2017, the trio landed slots on sold out lineups with the likes of Camp Cope, Julia Jacklin, These New South Whales, Rolling Blackouts C.F., Jess Locke and Jen Cloher, as well as a recent tour with Adelaide DIY rockers Horror My Friend.
Throughout the year, the band maintained this momentum, also clocking up festival spots Blurst Of Times, Mountain Goat Valley Crawl, Against The Grain and Secret Garden. After releasing their second single ‘Don’t Call Me’ at the end of 2017, the band signed to New World Artists and headed out on a national headline tour, with the track stacking up airtime on triple j, Unearthed, FBi and 4ZZZ.
This year, SWEATER CURSE have headed back into the studio, releasing their debut EP produced by Fletcher Matthews (Dear Seattle / Clews), as well as single ‘Can’t See You Anymore’ which earned them rotation on Triple J as well as the coveted Unearthed Feature Artist slot. Now the band have released ‘Mon’s Song’, a track born of troubled relationships, vivid dreaming and psycho-analysis.
