TROPICAL FU*K STORM
.
“G.A.F.F, or Give A Fuck Fatigue, a dizzying fusion of funk-leaning guitar and bass, guided by hostile lyrics about running out of reasons to care.” – Stereoboard
“Built on a grungy and jagged fusion of funk-rock and hip-hop beats, the track deals in distinctly nihilistic lyrical themes.” – NME

Tropical Fuck Storm return with ‘New Romeo Agent’, the latest taster of their incoming new album, Deep States, out August 20th via Tropical Fu*k Storm Records. Erica Dunn taking the lead vocals for spooky, sweetly sad and off-kilter track, that finds her recalling a world-weary Debbie Harry. ‘New Romeo Agent’ serves lashings of melody within the feedback-heavy arrangements present on ‘Deep States’.
“Our love & death tragedy-ballad kicks off in the aftermath of Octavia Butler’s short story Amnesty where a translator for the human race infiltrates an alien community Cold War Romeo agent style,” says Erica. “Sent to collect secrets and glean intelligence, against all odds, the undercover spy falls in love. As our human/alien Amores connect in an intimate new language, they decide to make a run for it. We glimpse an oasis of hope in defiance of the violence and backstabbery of their masters. We imagine a tropical island of romance in an icy sea devoid of solar warmth. We look back on the spinning wheel of progress and feel that all the desperation, despair and heartache of the past could finally be worth it for this moment, a conquest of love! A clock striking for a new age! But they get murdered. The end.”
Brutal.
Appropriately enough, ‘New Romeo Agent’ comes accompanied by an intergalactic karaoke odyssey of a video, directed by Oscar O’Shea, that sees TFS playing as captives in an alien dive bar.

Tropical Fuck Storm announced their return with studio LP number three, Deep States, due out August 20th (pre orders now open) via TFS Records. This week they are stoked to announce an accompanying national tour this August and September, Tickets on sale 9am AEST Thursday July 8th, 2021.
Known for their brain-melting, mind-altering live shows, this tour will be fans first opportunity to hear new songs live. They will be joined by Naarm/Melbourne based musician Michael Beach, whose brooding sounds have drawn comparisons to Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen for all shows aside from Sydney.
Born straight outta the lounge room, for a one-night stand, Slippry Intrigue, featuring members of TFS, Super Wild Horses and Suss C**s, will open the Forum show, playing ‘Infinity Slipper’ for the first and last time!
Deep States mines familiar ground as well as new cultural terrains, while digging deeper into the subjective state of contemporary panic. Over the last five years, you didn’t have to be conspiratorial to see the conspiracies everywhere you turned; and Liddiard, Fiona Kitschin, Erica Dunn, and Lauren Hammel, the Tropical Fuck Storm collective, know how to make friends with the strange. They invite our paranoia and fatigue. “It’s a permanent state,” Liddiard sings, “war made the State, the State made war, what’s the point of worrying ’bout it anymore?”

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.
