Ten years on from the release of their second EP, Victorian siblings Pierce Brothers are heading out on the road in celebration of its first decade in the world.
First released in 2014, Pierce Brothers’ The Night Tree EP followed on from their self-titled debut effort in 2011, and 2013’s Blind Boys Run, and showed them evolving from busking on Melbourne streets to something fully formed and unapolagetically representative of their own sound.
Featuring eight tracks (including three tunes recorded live at the Northcote Social Club), the EP shows exactly what Jack and Patrick Pierce are capable of when firing on all cylinders.
Now, a decade on, the pair are getting ready to reintroduce the EP into the world, prepping its first vinyl release and sharing live recordings of each track, recorded and filmed at their own Wattle Studios.
“This was an EP that really put us on the map, both in Europe and Australia,” says Jack. “We never released it on vinyl, so it’ll be great to finally have it the way we always wanted it! We recorded a live B-Side to the vinyl as well live at our home studio and will be releasing the live tapes from it as well!

“And we re-recorded an old crowd favourite Flying Home and added it as a bonus track! This is because we always felt like we never really nailed it in those old recordings so wanted to get a nicer version out there.”
“This will be really fun tour throughout the summer, before taking a good deal of time off!” he adds. “We’ve been going hard for a while now, so I think it’s almost time!”
The record’s vinyl issue will be accompanied by a run of shows around the country between January and April, culminating in two huge performances at the final edition of Bluesfest. The record will also be exclusively available at their upcoming shows, so if you’re eager to add it to your collection, it’s advisable to head to a show.
Tickets to their newly-announced dates are on sale now.
