SOAK Names Sydney & Melbourne Falls Festival Sideshows

The Irish chanteuse will also be appearing at WA's Southbound Festival

Irish singer-songwriter SOAK, aka Bridie Monds-Watson, has announced a pair of Falls Music & Arts Festival headline sideshow dates when she's in the country for the year-ending camping event in a couple of months' time.

The Sea Creatures hitmaker will start off in Melbourne, at the Northcote Social Club, on Wednesday 6 January, making her way up to Sydney to perform at the Newtown Social Club on Friday 8 January. Tickets for both shows are on sale now through Handsome Tours.

Her debut album, Before We Forgot How To Dream, has been burning a hole in many a listener's ear since its release back in May, with three singles so far — the aforementioned Sea Creatures, as well as the preceding Blud and B a noBody — aiding the muso in asserting herself as a dominant dream-pop force to watch.
