The Preatures are ending their Blue Planet Eyes tenth anniversary celebrations with a bang.

The Blue Planet Eyes’ tenth anniversary tour captured the long-awaited reunion of The Preatures’ original line-up: singer Isabella Manfredi, guitarist Jack Moffitt, bassist Thomas Champion, and drummer Luke Davison.

While there’s still one more show on the itinerary, the band has announced that they’ll be releasing a limited-edition live album capturing the energy of the anniversary shows, as well as an archival exhibition to be held in Sydney.

The Australian indie rockers will launch Blue Planet Eyes Live! during the archival exhibition at Rainbow Studios in Darlinghurst, Sydney, from 12 pm to 3 pm on Sunday, 7 December. Even better still, entry is free.

At the exhibition, fans will have the opportunity to experience The Preatures’ evolution as they take in live and behind-the-scenes photos, songbooks, handwritten lyric sheets, setlists, instruments, and iconic costumes. Punters will also have the opportunity to ask the band questions during a live, in-person Q&A hosted by Dom Alessio—the former triple j presenter who spun The Preatures on the radio for the first time.

Blue Planet Eyes Live! will land as a limited-edition double LP, recorded at the band’s recent performance at Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre as part of the Blue Planet Eyes tenth anniversary celebrations.  

The record will be officially released on Friday, 12 December, via Impressed Recordings. The independent Australian pressing plant is also offering limited-edition vinyl of Blue Planet Eyes Live! in Negroni Glass, Blood Orange and Bar Stool Black colourways. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here.

Manfredi said of the upcoming live album, “A few shows into the tour, we realised just how special this moment was. We ended up recording almost all the shows on the tour, but Melbourne really stood out as a hero performance. It was a sensational crowd, almost supernatural in feeling, and we wanted the essence of that audience to live on through the record forever.”

On Friday, 28 November, The Preatures will perform their final show on the Blue Planet Eyes tenth anniversary run at The Croxton in Melbourne. However, fans who see them at next year’s Party In The Paddock festival or Twilight At Taronga will see the band perform the album for the last time before they enter the studio and record a new album.
