Moaning Lisa Ink Deal With Local Label & Announce Tour

Moaning Lisa have inked a deal with Wollongong's Farmer & The Owl label. 

The Canberra four-piece announced the news today saying, "We’re so excited to be working with Farmer & The Owl". 

"Wollongong has always been close to our hearts. We love that they have small town roots and then these big, worldwide aspirations," said the group. 

"It's so great to have a team that’s so supportive of our music and that wants us to do our own thing and be ourselves. We can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve got in store."

"It's not often you want to check an email that pops up at 10.36pm on a Friday evening, whilst you're binge-watching Seinfeld for the upteenth time," shared Farmer & The Owl's Label Manager Kate Marning. 

"But the allure of it being new Moaning Lisa music was too strong to resist. And boy, did opening that email reap huge rewards. The Farmer team, and our brilliant label partner in BMG, were all thrilled & excited at the prospect of working with Moaning Lisa. 

"We've all been fans of them for numerous years now, so it was super flattering that they may be interested in working alongside us. The new music they have up their sleeve has made a significant imprint on us, and has been on heavy repeat in our office since we first heard it. 

"We're honoured to welcome Moaning Lisa to the Farmer & The Owl/BMG family, and can't wait to share what they've been working on with everyone. It's all killer, and no filler, so stay tuned." 

In addition to the signing news, Moaning Lisa have also announced a run of east coast shows. They'll kick off the tour in Melbourne on Friday 9 April and then head to Sydney, Wollongong and Canberra, wrapping up at Black Bear Lodge in Brisbane on Saturday 17 April. 

“It’s no secret that performing live is our lifeblood," they said, “So being able to hit the road again after such a long time away is a very welcome thrill for us. We’ve been writing in isolation for the past year, which has meant we’ve had lots of time to perfect and elevate our sound, but it sure got lonely and cabin fever has us itching to get in front of a crowd. 

"Expect new songs and sounds, new takes on the classics, and a hell of a lot of euphoric energy at these shows."
