One of our favourite South Aussie acts, Coldwave, have revealed some big news this week. The engaging six-piece are gearing up for the release of their brand spanking new double single, ‘The Ants / Italia ‘06’, set to arrive on Wednesday, September 25 via P.A.K. Records.
Along with dropping new music, Coldwave are hitting the road next month, announcing four dates across the East Coast.
Beginning with a gig in Melbourne/Naarm at The Workers Club on Friday, October 11, Coldwave makes their way to the North Gong Hotel in Wollongong/Dharawal on Sunday, October 13. Then it’s off to Sydney/Eora for a showcase performance as part of this year’s SXSW Sydney from Monday, October 14 to Sunday, October 20, before the band returns to Adelaide/Tarndanya for a homecoming show at Jive on Friday, October 25.
Coldwave won’t be hitting the road on their own, selecting a bunch of awesome Australian talent to share the stage with them on tour.
Futuristic punk collective Tongue Dissolver and fellow P.A.K. Records signee Ella Ion will appear at the Melbourne/Naarm show while Gold Coast indie rockers The Lonesome, rock trio Courtesy Bus and rising Sydney act Stirr will perform with Coldwave in Wollongong/Dharawal. The final gig of the tour at Jive in the City of Churches will see Coldwave supported by experimental chameleons Swapmeet and psychedelic punk entertainers The Munch.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now via Coldwave’s website.

‘The Ants / Italia ‘06’ are the first new tunes from Coldwave since last year when they dropped their acclaimed EPs Same Window, Different House and No Conflict.
Having established themselves in the local scene over the last three years, performing at the Adelaide leg of Laneway Festival earlier this year and being featured as the February artist on triple j Unearthed, Coldwave are ready to unleash their controlled chaos on the rest of the nation this October.
Catch Coldwave at Jive on Friday, October 25. For full ticketing details visit coldwave.com.
