Tandanya/Adelaide-based post-punk six piece Coldwave have announced a UK / US Send Off Show in their Adelaide hometown at Exeter Beer Garden on February 8th from 5pm. They'll be joined by friends Ella Ion and Free Golf for their last local show ahead of their debut UK tour and their showcase at SXSW in Austin, Texas this February and March. Tickets can be found HERE.

This tour comes off the back of extensive media support from the likes of Stereogum, Clash Magazine and Rolling Stone Australia for their recent two track The Ants / Italia '06 and will be the UK's first live introduction to Coldwave's captivating post-punk accelerant.

The tour will begin on February 27th at Castle Hotel in Manchester and will see the band play eight shows, including supporting Pom Poko in London at The Garage. They will continue their run of must-see showcases on March 10th - 15th playing at SXSW Austin, which will build on their previous performances at SXSW Sydney and BIGSOUND. Full tour dates are below.

Following the release of their debut EP Same Window, Different House in 2023, Coldwave were named triple j Unearthed Feature Artist, performed at Laneway Festival amongst a stacked lineup including Turnstile and Fontaines D.C., and made their much-talked-about debut at Bigsound 2023, with Dave Ruby Howe applauding the band for “delivering heavily to a big room which seemed to have caught wind that something was cooking... every member of the band vying for your eyes with intense noodling, rumbling rhythm section and demonic trumpet.”

COLDWAVE - Harrison Evans (he/him; vocals), Kiran Memisoglou (he/him; guitar), Anthony Griffin (he/him; guitar/vocals), Sean McGowan (they/them; trumpet/synth/vocals), Lara Patzel (she/they; bass) and Jordan Maywald (he/him; drums) - formed in 2020 from the ashes of two beloved Tandanya/Adelaide post-punk outfits and have continued to evolve rapidly, welcoming new collaborators, exploring experimental instrumentation, and building a national audience, while remaining steadfastly loyal to their home community. They have released two EPs No Conflict (2023), Same Window, Different House (2023) and have performed with Citizen, Pond, RVG and more.
